Frequently Asked Questions

InSite Psychotherapy Services, PLLC is an online psychotherapy practice based in Illinois that offers individual sessions to help clients work through a range of mental health challenges.

The first step is to self-schedule a free, 15-minute phone consultation by hitting the button on the website.  Once the consultation is scheduled, I will call you on the phone number you provide and we will discuss in a little more detail your reason for seeking therapy.  I will provide additional information about me, if desired and we will discuss next steps on the phone call.  If you choose to work with me, we will schedule an appointment.

Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long.   The length of each session may vary depending on the needs of the client.

During the first session, I will ask you questions about your background, your goals and some of your history. Anything you do not feel comfortable talking about we will not talk about. At the end of the first session, I will give you a homework assignment relevant to your needs.

In the following sessions, we will discuss what you want to discuss.  These are your sessions.  We will review any homework assignments, discuss areas of concern or struggle or we may just discuss how your week was.  Remember these are your sessions.

I see some clients once weekly and some clients every other week.  It is dependent upon how often you think you need to see me.  

Going to therapy can sometimes be a difficult step to take.  People seek therapy for a wide array of reasons.  Some people come to therapy because of feeling depressed, anxious , overwhelmed, angry, due to relationship issues, self-esteem issues, to name a few.  Our problems do not go away if we just ignore them.  Sometimes we need help to navigate through life's difficulties.  It is nothing wrong with seeking help.  Therapy can help.
