I understand that seeking therapy can raise various questions and concerns. This FAQ page aims to address common inquiries about my services, including couples therapy, individual therapy, and workshops. My goal is to instill confidence in the benefits of therapy and to help you take the first steps toward a healthier relationship or personal growth.
What types of therapy do you offer?
I offer couples therapy and individual therapy. Soon, I will offer various workshops and seminars designed to enhance relationship skills and personal development.
What can I expect during a therapy session?
During a session, you can expect a safe and supportive environment where you can openly discuss your thoughts and feelings. I will guide you through the process, helping you explore and address your concerns.
Are your services confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of my practice. What you share with me in therapy remains private and is only disclosed with your consent or if required by law.
What should I do to prepare for my first session?
To prepare for your first session, consider reflecting on what you hope to achieve in therapy. It's also helpful to jot down any questions or concerns you wish to address.
What kind of workshops will you offer?
Workshops will focus on topics such as communication skills, conflict resolution, and emotional intimacy, aimed at enhancing relationship dynamics.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you're experiencing relationship challenges, personal struggles, or simply want to improve your emotional well-being, therapy can be highly beneficial. I encourage you to reach out for a consultation.
How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some clients may benefit from a few sessions, while others may engage in longer-term therapy. Each session is 50-60 minutes.
Do you accept insurance?
I am unable, due to New York state laws, to bill in-network insurance. I am, in many cases, able to help in the process of using out-of-network insurance. Consult your insurance carrier to determine if you have out-of-network coverage for "mental health counseling".
Can I attend therapy alone if my partner is not ready?
Absolutely. Individual therapy can be a powerful step toward personal growth and can also help improve your relationship dynamics. Individual therapy can be the first step toward the ultimate goal of couple's therapy.
How can I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by contacting me via my website, by email (thomaslivernois@gmail.com) or by calling my office directly (716-550-1928). I look forward to working with you.
