Therapy with Jane
Starting therapy takes courage. Many clients only call a therapist when they have tried everything they know how to do.
Others are tired of reaching the same crossroads again and again – be it in their relationships, their career or with an issue such as anxiety, insomnia or a past experience that keeps them from living life to the full.
“Whatever is bringing you to therapy, Jane will be more than happy to chat with you about the options available to you, and how she can be helpful.”
Jane’s therapy process
All therapists work a little differently – according to their training, their licensure, the setting in which they practice, their own family history and the kind of therapy they themselves have undertaken.
Jane integrates her own experience from the worlds of business, academia and therapy to provide her clients with a structured approach that is simultaneously educational, practical and compassionate. Her goal is to provide effective interventions for current concerns while also facilitating longer-term change.
In order to give you an idea of what to expect from therapy with Jane, a general outline of her process is provided here.
Graduating from therapy
Jane’s goal for every client is that they will graduate from therapy with the ability to wholeheartedly say, “I’m okay with who I am” or “I’m comfortable in my own skin”.
How long it takes to get there depends on many factors in the client’s history, although Jane offers a typical ball-park of 6 months to 1 year for therapy clients.
Once a client is ready to graduate, Jane will facilitate a review of the therapy process, checking in on the symptoms that brought them in, the goals set and any EMDR that was done. This is also an opportunity to tell Jane what was helpful and what was less so, and for Jane to talk about what she observed and learned from the process.
Graduation is always bittersweet as it marks the culmination of a huge amount of work, progress and a new life ahead, while at the same time marking the end of the therapy relationship. Jane always offers the opportunity to return at any time – even if only for a one-time check-in. She also loves to receive updates from former clients by email!
