+ Is going to therapy a sign of weakness?
A: Not at all. It’s actually the brave first step to tackling a problem, feeling less stressed, improving your relationship, feeling better in general.
+ How long does therapy last?
That varies by client. It largely depends on the nature of what you’d like to work on, your commitment to personal development, whether you’re attending regularly, and whether you’re taking tools from the therapy room and applying them to your life. Some clients have a very short-term goal that they’d like to reach, and after developing some insight into their situation, and practicing some tools in their everyday life, they stop for a while, and frequently come back from time to time when they’d like a refresher. Other clients, after they’ve reached their goals, appreciate having a professional to process various things in their life with, to develop additional insights and tools, and continue for a longer period of time.
+ What if I'm unsure?
That’s understandable. It can feel weird talking to someone that you don’t know. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so that you can see if it feels like a fit before scheduling an appointment.
+ When are you available?
Sessions are Mondays through Fridays, with lunchtime, afternoon, and evening appointments available. On some evenings the latest session begins at 8:15pm.
+ Where are you located?
My office is located at 870 Market Street, Suite 980, inside the historic Flood Building in downtown San Francisco. It's adjacent to the Powell St. MUNI and BART stops. Parking can be found right behind the building at the Ellis - O'Farrell parking garage, or at the Fifth & Mission Street parking garage.
