Reaching Out

The first step is contacting the practice through the consultation form or by email. This initial contact is not therapy—it’s simply a way to ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and explore whether Camp Creek Counseling is a good fit for your needs.

You can expect a thoughtful response with next steps, including scheduling options and answers to any logistical questions.

The First Session

The first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. This includes discussing your concerns, goals, relevant background, and what you hope to get out of counseling. You’ll also have space to ask questions about the therapeutic process and approach.

There is no expectation to share everything at once. The first session is about setting a foundation, not diving into everything immediately.

⸻

Ongoing Therapy

Therapy is collaborative and paced to your needs. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building insight, and developing practical tools you can use in daily life. Depending on your goals, therapy may address emotional regulation, communication, coping strategies, trauma processing, or relationship dynamics.

Progress is revisited regularly, and goals can shift as your needs change. Therapy is not about quick fixes, but about steady, meaningful change over time.

⸻

Session Structure and Frequency

Sessions are typically around 50 minutes. Frequency is discussed together and may be weekly, biweekly, or adjusted based on your needs, availability, and goals. Therapy can be short-term or longer-term depending on what you are working toward.

⸻

In-Person and Telehealth Sessions

Sessions may be offered in person or via secure telehealth, depending on availability and clinical fit. Telehealth sessions are conducted using a HIPAA-compliant platform and follow the same structure and expectations as in-person therapy.

⸻

Confidentiality and Boundaries

Therapy is confidential within the limits of state and federal law. These limits—such as situations involving safety concerns—will be explained clearly so you understand how your information is protected.

Clear boundaries help therapy remain safe, focused, and effective.

⸻

Is Therapy the Right Fit?

Therapy works best when there is a good fit between client and therapist. If at any point it feels like Camp Creek Counseling may not be the right match, that can be discussed openly. Referrals or alternative resources can be explored if needed.
