Question 1

How do I know if I need therapy?

Accepted Answer

If something in your life isn't working the way you want it to — whether that's anxiety, grief, relationships, a transition, or simply a desire for deeper understanding of yourself — therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit. You just need to want change.

Question 2

How do I choose between Haylie and Emily?

Accepted Answer

Haylie specializes in individual, couples, family, and group therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, perinatal mental health, life transitions, and self-trust work. Emily specializes in individual therapy, parent coaching, and social skills training — with deep expertise in supporting clients with autism, ADHD, learning differences, and developmental needs. If you're unsure, schedule a free consultation and we'll help guide you.

Question 3

What happens in a free consultation?

Accepted Answer

Our free consultation is a brief, no-pressure conversation — typically 15–20 minutes — where we get a sense of what you're looking for, you ask any questions, and we explore whether we feel like the right fit. There's no obligation to book sessions.

Question 4

How do I book my first session?

Accepted Answer

After your free consultation, if we both feel it's a good fit, we'll schedule your first session. You'll receive intake paperwork to complete before we meet, and your first session will be a chance to share your story and what brought you here.

Question 5

How long are sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most sessions are 50–60 minutes. Couples and family sessions may sometimes be longer, especially in the early stages of work.

Question 6

Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

Both. We offer in-person sessions in the Atlanta area and virtual therapy across Georgia and South Carolina. You can choose whichever fits your life best, and you can switch between formats over time.

Question 7

How often will I come to therapy?

Accepted Answer

Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build consistency and momentum. As you progress, we may move to biweekly or monthly sessions depending on your goals and what's working.

Question 8

What happens if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

We ask for 24-hour notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to the full session fee.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential and protected by HIPAA and state laws. We will not share information about you or our work together without your written consent.

Question 14

Are there exceptions to confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

There are a few legally required exceptions: if there is an imminent risk of harm to yourself or another person, if there is suspected abuse of a child, elderly person, or dependent adult, or if records are subpoenaed by a court. We'll review these in detail at your first session.

Question 15

How do you protect my information?

We use HIPAA-compliant systems for video sessions, scheduling, billing, and record-keeping. Your privacy is something we take seriously at every step.
