Frequently Asked Questions
What types of anxiety do you treat?
We treat various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Our therapists use evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help manage symptoms and develop coping skills.
How can your therapy help with trauma?
Our trauma-informed therapists provide compassionate care focused on healing. We utilize specialized therapies such as EMDR and CPT to help process traumatic memories, manage associated symptoms (like flashbacks and hypervigilance), and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. We work with complex trauma, PTSD, and single-incident trauma.
What should I expect in my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to learn about your concerns and background. You'll have the chance to ask questions and discuss your goals for therapy. Our therapists will listen attentively, establish rapport, and collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. There's no set format, allowing the conversation to flow naturally.
How often are therapy sessions?
We offer flexible scheduling, but typically recommend weekly sessions for the first several months to establish a consistent therapeutic rhythm and make steady progress. As you advance, the frequency can be adjusted based on your individual progress and needs.
Do you accept insurance?
Optimum Joy Counseling provides a convenient way to pay for therapy services. While we do not directly bill insurance companies, we offer receipt of services that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Please contact our office for detailed information regarding fees and payment options.
