Question 1

What issues or specialties do you focus on?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and stress management. We also offer ADHD coaching, psychoeducational testing, and sports psychology with mental skills coaching.

Question 2

Do you offer emergency or crisis services?

Accepted Answer

SoMi Counseling is not a crisis center. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room. You can also contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for immediate support.

Question 3

What can I expect for the first therapy session with my child?

Accepted Answer

The first session is all about building comfort and trust. Depending on your child’s age and needs, the therapist may begin by meeting with the parent(s) briefly to gather background information, followed by time alone with the child. The session will focus on getting to know your child, exploring what brings them in, and helping them feel safe and heard. Parents will also receive guidance on how to support the therapy process at home. No pressure is placed on your child to “open up” immediately — we move at a pace that feels right for them.

Question 4

What ages do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We provide therapy for children (ages 3+), teens, and adults. Services are customized to meet each client’s developmental and emotional needs.

Question 5

How long are sessions and how often will I meet with my therapist?

Accepted Answer

Most sessions are one hour. Many clients start with weekly sessions and adjust frequency based on their goals and progress.

Question 6

Do you offer virtual therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes -- We offer both in-person and virtual sessions to meet your needs and schedule. However, virtual sessions may be at the clinician's discrepancy when factoring the age and needs of the client into consideration. We only always want to provide you with the best quality of service!

Question 8

What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?

Accepted Answer

Therapy focuses on emotional healing and mental health. Coaching — like executive functioning or mental skills coaching — is about building practical tools to improve daily functioning or performance. We offer both and often blend them when it benefits the client.

What is a psychoeducational evaluation?
