We get it. You’re either doing all of the things you can think of to get back on track - exercise, eating better, getting more sleep, but it’s just not working.
Or, maybe you know what you should be doing but you just can’t seem to find the energy or motivation to start. And, it’s also very possible that you just feel like you have no clue where to start. Well, that’s where you’re wrong. Simply because you are here, reading this, the work has already started. For many, the idea of starting therapy can be nerve-wracking and kind of scary. Acknowledging that you might benefit from talking to someone and then actually doing the legwork to find the right therapist is a HUGE step in the right direction. All that’s left is to reach out.
We’ll help you work through whatever problem brings you through the door. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief, a difficult stressor, a huge life transition, trauma, or problems with your relationships we’ll figure it out together. Maybe you’ve been avoiding doing this work for some time but now it’s time to figure some things out.
You may be surprised at the relief you feel just knowing that you no longer have to do this alone. As therapists, one thing we hear all the time is - “I only wish I had done this sooner.”
We hope that you will reach out so you can experience this for yourself.
Individual therapy is exactly as it sounds - you and your therapist. Sessions typically occur on a weekly basis to start and are approximately 50-60 minutes in length. Initially, the focus will be on building a relationship with your therapist and completing a thorough diagnostic assessment. Then, you and your therapist will decide on your treatment goals. And from there, the journey begins!
diagnostic session: $150
Subsequent Therapy session: $140
Couples therapy includes you, your partner, and your therapist. The first priority is to establish a good relationship with your therapist and decide on goals. Most of the hard work will be done outside of the session. Whether you want to strengthen your relationship or would like help with a separation, infidelity, lack of intimacy, or poor communication, we can help. We can also help families overcome communication difficulties, conflict, blending families, and trauma recovery.

If you’ve talked to others who have worked with a therapist, you may have heard how important it is to find someone you click with. Different therapists have different styles, approaches, and personalities and finding the right one for you is the key to having the best outcome possible. We may not be the right fit for everyone and that is okay! If you’re still not sure whether Sequoia is the right place for you, please look below to see if giving us a call would be worth your time:
Open to an exploratory, eclectic, and less structured approach
Willing to do the real work outside of your therapy session in order to meet your goals
Open-minded, curious, and open to self-reflection
Aware that change takes time and are committed to the process
Wanting a more structured approach
Looking for a quick fix or easy answer
Not willing or able to self-reflect or do the work on the issue that brings you to therapy in the first place
Schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. During this call, your therapist will have an opportunity to introduce themselves to you and you can briefly describe what led to your interest in therapy. Your therapist can then answer any questions you might have and further explain the process. If it feels like a good fit, then let’s get you scheduled. If it doesn’t feel quite right, the therapist you speak with can help point you in a better direction. Even if you decide not to work with us, let us help you find the right person.
If both you and your therapist feel like it’s a match then it’s time to get you on the schedule. Once you are scheduled, you will receive an email to set up your online client portal. This includes a few questionnaires which will help your therapist get to know you a little bit more before your first appointment. We will also ask that you upload standard insurance, demographic, and payment information. Once this information is uploaded, you’ll be ready to go!
The legwork is officially done and now you’re booked and ready to go. Your first few sessions will be about building rapport with your therapist and getting to know one another. Having a strong relationship with your therapist is the cornerstone of good therapy and will set the tone for the work that you will do together.
