Clients often have several questions before beginning therapy.  To ease your mind and help you better understand the process, I have provided information for several commonly asked questions for you.

I will work closely with you to develop attainable goals. The amount of time to attend therapy can be dependent on the issues presented and the client's willingness to explore their issues.

4. What is the meaning of life?

The meaning is for you to define and act upon.
