How long will therapy take?   Top

While the length of therapy varies widely among individuals and presenting concerns, an average length of treatment is six months to one year. The therapeutic process works best when it is allowed the necessary time to nourish, fulfill, and foster growth.

I’ve made an appointment, what should I expect?   Top

Dr. Bauman will meet with you, or call you, at the pre-designated time. The session will last 50 minutes. The first couple of sessions will be to gather background information and assess your needs. If you and Dr. Bauman deem this a good fit, therapy will proceed from there. Every process is different and unique. Feel free to ask questions as you go along and Dr. Bauman will make every effort to answer them informatively.

Is this confidential?   Top

Yes. Confidentiality is one of the most important elements in the therapeutic relationship. If you would like Dr. Bauman to speak with anyone (family, friends, physicians, etc.) you will be required to fill out a release form.

Does therapy work?   Top

Yes. A wide range of studies have been conducted on this very question. It has been found that regardless of technique, the most important variable in the effectiveness of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Many clients report that progress is often subtle while it is happening, but that looking back there are welcome changes in their presenting concerns and overall well being.
