Types of Appointments

Initial Assessments

Initial Assessments are the first appointment. They typically last between 45-60 minutes. It is a structured interview that allows me to get a better understanding of who you are, what your goals are, and collect any relevant background information. It is also a time for you to get to know me, ask questions, and get a better understanding of policies and procedures of my practice.

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual Psychotherapy appointments are 45-55 minutes. We meet one on one either via telehealth or in-person to address your goals. What happens in session varies greatly depending on your goals and presenting concerns. Some approaches I commonly utilize include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal process, and Feminist Therapy.

Couples Psychotherapy

Couples Psychotherapy appointments are 45-55 minutes. I meet with you and your partner to address concerns and work towards goals we set for your relationship. I recommend scheduling these appointments in-person. In couples work, I commonly utilize an Imago Relationship Therapy approach with influence from the work of the Gottman Institute and Esther Perel.

In-Person v. Telehealth

Clients have the choice to engage in telehealth or in-person services. For some people, engaging in telehealth is more comfortable or more accessible then meeting in-person. For others, telehealth may be the best option because they live out of town. On the other hand, some people feel most comfortable speaking in-person. Either way is okay! Sometimes, I may have a recommendation for one modality over another depending on the circumstances of the client. Telehealth is not appropriate for all presenting concerns and it does require a private, confidential space and stable internet connection. Dr. Patterson-Siekirk participates in PsyPact, therefore, she is able to offer telehealth services in all PsyPact participating states. Visit psypact.org for a list of participating states.
