Therapy Timeline

Step 1: Intake and Assessment

We begin with me getting to know you and your child while you are also getting to know me. During this time, we’ll collaborate to identify your goals for therapy and the current challenges you’re facing. This allows me to make recommendations for treatment modalities (e.g., Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, CBT) and approaches (e.g., joint parent-teen sessions) based on current scientific research related to the topics we discussed when examining your family’s needs.
This step sets the foundation for meaningful work that is individualized to your family. It also helps you identify if we are a good fit.
Step 2: Keep Showing Up

Therapy is most effective when it’s a team effort. You’ll attend sessions, participate actively, and try out strategies between visits. I’ll provide guidance, monitor progress, and adjust our approach based on what’s working for your family—because real change happens both inside and outside the therapy sessions.
Step 3: Moving from Therapy

When it’s time to wrap up, we’ll review your progress together and discuss next steps. Whether it’s transitioning out of therapy, building a plan for continued growth at home, or knowing how to return if new challenges arise—you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and tools you can carry forward.
