Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to schedule a consultation first?
A: Not at all! The consultation is an option for those who are new to therapy and have specific questions they want to ask. You can schedule an intake session without meeting with me first.
Q: What kinds of things do you help with?
A: Therapy is helpful for a variety of things and the ones that I work with the most frequently are anxiety, depression, traumatic life events, high conflict divorce and child custody issues, domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. That doesn't mean you have to be dealing with one of these issues specifically!
Q: Do I have to know anything about EMDR before we start?
A: No you don't! It is part of my practice to provide education about EMDR. It is an entire therapy, not just the "magic hand waving" technique, and you don't ever wait to "do" EMDR therapy when you work with me. We educate as we go.
Q: Do you only offer in person or tele therapy? How soon can I see you?
A: I offer both in person and tele therapy - many of my clients choose which type of session they will have based on their needs and can be in person one week and tele therapy the next. Most new clients can be scheduled with a week to 10 days.
Q: How do I contact you to schedule?
A: You can call or text the office number! It is a HIPAA compliant line that allows for streamlined communication. Our number is 920-772-8711. I can also be reached by email: nikki@perspectivestherapywi.com.
