Our Approach to Therapy
What Therapy Looks Like
Therapy is a collaborative process focused on building insight, developing practical skills, and creating meaningful change over time. Sessions are tailored to individual goals and may include structured exercises, reflective discussion, psychoeducation, exposure work, mindfulness strategies, or between-session practice. The pace and approach are adapted to what feels most helpful, supportive, and sustainable for each person.
Evidence-Based Treatment, Personalized
In session, Adrianna draws from evidence based approaches including ACT, CBT, and ERP, with these models carefully adapted to fit each individual’s goals, preferences, and needs. The way therapy is delivered can be tailored collaboratively, including the pace and structure of sessions, frequency of appointments, use of homework, and overall therapeutic style, creating support that feels right for you.
What to Expect
The first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to therapy. This includes exploring your history, current challenges, and any relevant background information, as well as discussing confidentiality and how it applies within the therapeutic process. Where appropriate, assessments or questionnaires may be used to provide additional insight into symptoms, patterns, or possible conditions.
Sessions also provide space to discuss your goals for therapy, what you hope to gain from the process, and how therapy can best fit into your life. This includes exploring preferences around structure, pace, practical strategies, homework, communication style, and any other factors that may help make therapy feel more manageable and effective.
