individual Therapy in Folsom & Online

For individuals ready for relief from anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges.

We all need a place where we can show up as we are.

You may be seeking individual therapy for a variety of different reasons. Maybe it’s anxiety that spirals out of control, or feeling depressed, down, and alone. Maybe it’s challenges in intimate relationships, in friendships, with family, or in dating. Perhaps something that happened in your past continues to show up in the present and hold you back.

You are tired of feeling stuck and the truth is, even though you’ve been trying your best, you were never meant to go through the hard stuff in life alone.

You are starting to feel the impact in your everyday life. Maybe..

You feel unable to engage in the way you would like to at work or at home
How you think of yourself is becoming more and more negative
You are struggling to trust others and find yourself walling off
You just feel straight up lost, and unclear what the problem actually is

At Together Known, we help individuals just like you.

Throughout our work together, we will honor how you are wired as a relational-being and use cutting-edge research to help cultivate lasting and meaningful change.

Many conditions like anxiety and depression are rooted in either the over-regulation or under-regulation of emotion. Many of us learn to do this within ourselves and in relation to others in order to attempt at getting our needs met. This sort of works, but mostly doesn’t.

Instead, we want you to be able to experience emotional fitness- to know what is happening in your inner/emotional world, to trust it as a reliable guide, and to be able to send clear message to others that help you connect. Enter a more secure, flexible, connected, and resilient you!

HOW Individaul THERAPY WORKS

The process of therapy is always individualized, and rarely linear, but at Together Known, we use an evidence-based and relationally centered approach to guide the way:

Featured

Stage One

Stabilization and Assessment

First I’ll want to hear your story, where you’ve been but most importantly where you are now that you want to change. Together, we can begin to understand and uncover the patterns internally and interpersonally that are keeping you stuck. We will aim for less reactivity and numbing and more emotional balance.

Stage Two

Restructuring

Now that there is safety in our therapeutic relationship, and you have been able to own the patterns of how you shape your world (perceive threat, make meaning, experience emotion, and automatically respond/protect), you will be ready to explore and engage with new options to shift these dynamics. We will always go at your pace and I’ll be with you every step of the way. As new experiences occur in session, old patterns get re-wired and more security in ourselves and with others can be established and translate to outside of session.

Stage Three

Consolidation

Now that you have put in so much hard work, it will be a joy to celebrate your success! We will review how you’ve moved from distress to security so that you can continue to perpetuate this generative cycle you’ve created. I’m here if you need me, but usually clients are ready to graduate from therapy at this point and enjoy better functioning in life and relationships.

Good Faith Estimate

How often?

For best results, I recommend all individuals start and do their best to commit to a weekly cadence for sessions. This is important as it will take a little time for a thorough assessment to be done and for our work in session to translate into your day-to-day life. As we make progress, we can discuss if lessening the frequency of sessions aligns with your needs and goals.

How long?

While no case is the same and therapy is always individualized, many clients start seeing small amounts of growth after the first few sessions. At the very least, my hope is that within a short amount of time you will feel heard, understood, and begin to feel hopeful that healing is possible. Some find that 6-12 weeks is enough to resolve immediate challenges, while others feel more supported by longer-term therapy.

FAQs

Therapy can be vulnerable and new, so it’s completely natural to be nervous. Taking the step to seek help for the challenges you are facing is a huge step and it takes courage to realize that we can’t always face our issues alone. Therapy is a space where you can be yourself and come just as you are, including feeling nervous. I’m committed to finding a way to ensure sessions are as comfortable as possible for you. After meeting together a time or two, most clients find that their nerves begin to fade.

I’m here if you want to talk about it during a free phone consultation.
It's a great question! Over and over the research tells us that the greatest factor in determining whether therapy is successful or not comes down to the relationship between therapist and client. The consultation call and the first few sessions are a good trial period to get a sense of how it will be to work together. Notice how you feel in sessions. Do you feel understood by your therapist? Do you feel comfortable opening up to them? Usually these are good signs that it's a good fit.

I'm always open to your feedback and my ultimate goal is to get you in the best place to reach your goals.
While I typically recommend couples therapy that would include both partners for relationship work, sometimes this isn’t possible or isn’t the best fit. Maybe you are wanting to work on patterns in friendships, family relationships, dating, healing from past hurt in a relationship, or need a space that is only yours to work on how you show up in your relationship. We can talk about your specific circumstance in a consultation call and I’m happy to make recommendations form there.
I am an out-of-network provider which means I do not directly bill insurance companies and you are responsible for the full fee at the time of each session. If you like, I am happy to provide a “superbill” or reimbursement form that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. There is no guarantee for reimbursement, but many of my clients do choose to pursue this option.
