Covid Update
Presently, I’m seeing patients in my office as well as continuing phone and teletherapy when preferred. Proof of vaccination is required for in-office appointments.
Generally, I see clients from Mondays to Friday between 10 AM to 8 PM. I make Saturday morning available for client appointments and for appointments that were canceled due to sickness, weather or when crises arise.
The process will vary depending upon the needs or your situation. Some come for just a few sessions while others feel that they continue to benefit from continuing work.
Research has shown that the longer a couple postpones couples therapy, the more difficult and time consuming it is to arrive at a successful resolution / outcome.
If you are concerned about something in your relationship, the sooner you ask for help the easier it will be to resolve it and the fewer sessions you will need.
Your first free informative visit is just to assess whether or not it is a good time to ask for help.
Meeting with the therapist before beginning therapy is extremely important for the client. You’ll want to see if you feel comfortable with the therapist’s style, get a sense of their background and experience, and evaluate whether you’d feel safe and respected by them. During the consultation you can ask the therapist any questions or address any concerns that you may have.
Couples therapy is necessary when there are difficulties between you two that you are not able to resolve on your own.
Frequent discussions, some episode that has left a trace of disappointment or distrust, communication problems… the reasons are very varied.
But broadly speaking, couples therapy is the best way to take care of your relationship when you run into some obstacle that you cannot overcome.
“Since starting to work with Carol, the communication with my husband has really improved. I feel much more hopeful about our marriage and am enjoying life a lot more.”
“My collaboration with Carol has been the most valuable “work” of my life. This has been life-altering, and the most important thing I could have decided to do for myself.”
“Working with Carol has helped me strengthen my self concept and break down barriers that have held me back for years. I owe so much of my success to her.”
“I’ve been in therapy on and off for most of my life and this is the first time that I am making lasting progress. With Carol’s help, I am able to see the cause of my anxiety and depression.”
“Carol has given me the tools I need to fight against the negative thinking. As I continue to work on myself, life has become easier and less overwhelming. I am able to fully enjoy the good days and have all the support I need for the bad ones.”
