WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A THERAPY SESSION WITH KIRSTEN?
Kirsten Infinger, LCSW provides a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and thoughts. She will work collaboratively with you to identify goals and develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL PROCESS FOR WORKING WITH CLIENTS?
The first 1-3 sessions will be spent completing a thorough intake. I will ask a series of questions so that I have a comprehensive understanding of what brings you into treatment and what your goals are moving forward.
Following this, we will discuss what will be included in your treatment plan and begin meeting either every week or every other week.
Once you have reached a point of remission, we may reduce this to every 3-4 weeks depending on your needs and wishes; this is considered the maintenance phase of treatment. It is not abnormal to have additional sessions sprinkled throughout as life likes to throw us curveballs; you are always welcome to schedule an additional session as needed.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task, but it's essential to ensure that you find someone who you feel comfortable talking to and who understands your unique challenges. Look for therapists who openly discuss their approach to psychotherapy, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
