Most people come to therapy because they are looking for meaningful change in their life. They are experiencing emotional pain, feeling stuck, or repeating unhealthy patterns. There are lots of reasons people come to therapy, but you can generally expect that it will take a bit of time for your therapist to get to know you and understand what the best treatment approach will be. This treatment should be uniquely tailored to you and your needs. Sometimes there are tips and tricks that can help, and sometimes the work is in learning how to feel difficult emotions and becoming more self-aware to facilitate healing. The hard work actually happens between sessions when you begin to make the small changes that help you feel better. But the process of therapy is a two-way street–be honest with your therapist and yourself, and you will begin to see change.
We require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice to cancel a therapy session. If you cancel before the 48 hours, there is no charge, but if you cancel within 48 hours, then the full session fee applies. The time you book is specifically reserved for you. This time is how we get paid and how we pay our bills. When a client cancels close to the appointment, it makes it almost impossible to fill the spot even though there is a waiting list.
The first session is an opportunity for you and your therapist to start getting to know each other. The therapist should review consent, confidentiality, and the cancellation policy with you. They will want to know what brings you to therapy, what your goals are, and what issues are the most pressing for you. They may also ask about your experience with therapy before–was it good or bad? What did or didn’t work for you? You also have the opportunity to ask any questions you have about the process or anything else. The therapist may also start to ask you about your history if there is time to get into this.
Affordable Therapy Options
Therapy is an investment, and we also know the cost can be a barrier. At ReFresh. we offer two ways to access support at a lower fee point:
1) Supervised Reduced-Fee Therapy: Work with a Therapist Intern under direct clinical supervision within our clinic. This option is available for clients who are an appropriate fit clinically and prefer a more affordable rate.
2) Sliding Scale: We also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots depending on team capacity.
