A good therapist will work to put themselves out of job. Think about it, if therapy is actually working, you should need it less and less over time. When I ask people about their previous experiences in therapy I often hear “It was ok, we mostly just talked about my week”. Most people generally come to therapy with a specific issue to address but reviewing the week’s stressors is not a direct way to solving the problem. View 5 Photos, In our time together, you can expect goal focused conversation and working to answer the question “what am I going to do about it?”. I use goal setting and practical skills that teach people to be their own therapist over time. Therapy is a gradual process, but many people will outgrow the need for it upon learning they have agency over their challenges. , I specialize in helping people with anxiety and depression. However, I also work with people on: Life transitions, college students, work stress, finding meaning / purpose, and working through relationship struggles.
