About Brenda Dolan, PLLC
The Therapeutic Process
The goal of therapy is to help you personally and with your relationships. Some of the possible benefits of participating in therapy are gaining a better understanding of yourself and others, achieving greater satisfaction with your relationships, and being able to effectively deal with your specific concerns.
Along with the possible benefits, you could experience some undesirable effects from making these changes. There is the potential for you to feel uncomfortable and experience other unpleasant emotions such as sadness, frustration, and anger. Although the intention of therapy is for you to resolve your complaints, it is possible that you will not experience the changes you anticipate.
Each therapy session is scheduled in advance and usually lasts about 50 minutes. Fees will be billed at a rate of $130 per 50-minute session. You may stop therapy at any time, but I encourage you to consult with me beforehand as I may be able to provide you with referrals for other sources of help for ongoing support. Likewise, if I am not able to assist you or you feel I am not qualified to address your particular complaint, I may refer you to another therapist or agency.
Please ask me any questions you have about the information provided on this site or anything I have not covered as I want you to understand your rights and what to expect from me and from therapy.
About Therapy
My therapeutic orientation is of a marriage and family therapist and entails focusing on relationships and interactions among individuals as well as identifying changes in interactions that can improve those relationships.
In order for me to be able to help you accomplish your goals I will need to learn about you, your interpersonal relationships, and the difficulties you are having that brought you to therapy. It is important for you to be honest and open and willing to make a change in your behavior or interactions with others.
My responsibility as a therapist is to listen to you, treat you respectfully, provide a supportive environment in which you can express yourself, and try to help you address the difficulties you are experiencing. Together we will identify goals for therapy, develop a treatment plan, explore how these goals can be met, and discuss your progress towards achieving these goals. Once you have met your goals we will discuss an appropriate time to end therapy.
