FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
This is a difficult question to give a cookie-cutter answer because it depends on many factors such as the presenting problem, behaviors, and motivation to change. As a general outline, we recommend more frequent sessions for the first few months. Then, we taper off to allow you time to adjust to new ways of living and continue problem-solving/processing new hurdles that may arise.
How long will I need therapy?
What is walk & talk therapy?
We have the ability to go for a walk on the sidewalks in the neighboring areas of our office. We have a typical route that offers the most privacy possible for our area and can send you the map before the session so you can consider the path and always know where we’ll be. Our therapists have been trained to use unique opportunities with mindfulness and the outdoors to find greater healing in your therapy. If you have more questions about privacy or other specific dynamics, please ask us!
We only offer walk & talk sessions when the weather is warmer and it is always your decision on whether you’d prefer to stay in the office or head out for a walk.
What happens if I miss an appointment or need to cancel?
Your therapist has a limited caseload to ensure that there is time to plan for your sessions and be fully focused on you. If you need to cancel your session, please do so 24-hours in advance so that your clinician can waive your session fee, and have an option to schedule a client who is in need during that time. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, or no-show, you will be billed for the session time at the full rate. If you have an emergency, please contact your clinician as soon as possible so that they can offer an alternative time, if available.
Life happens and we understand you don't always have a 24-hour heads up. For that reason, we allow one missed appointment without being billed.
Do you work with male clients?
Yes, of course! Anyone is welcome to initiate therapy at Intentional Minds. The specialties listed are just that- specialties. Our experience includes a wide array of presenting problems among all ages and genders.
