Frequently Asked Questions

How long does therapy take?

The times it takes depends on many individual factors, and it is not possible to say exactly how long time it will take for you.

If you are working on self-growth, inner connection, and developing higher awareness, you may enjoy developing a longer therapeutic relationship.

If you are working on a particular issue / negative memory, and find EMDR therapy beneficial, you may feel better after 8-12 sessions, but providing an exact estimate of sessions needed is difficult.

Will I get better?

Even with motivation and a beneficial therapeutic match, it is not guaranteed that therapy is the right fit for you, or that it will help you feel better, more connected, whole, and peaceful. A therapist can offer you guidance along the way, and help you get to a place where you can more mindfully build you own healing tools, observation skills, transcend limiting beliefs and more adaptively process experiences. When you raise your awareness, you begin living from your heart in loving alignment with your higher self.

Acknowledging and accepting that you are ready to grow and heal is a powerful first step of the journey. Healing can come from many places, most importantly from your own heart.

How much does a therapy session cost?

Therapy sessions are offered to individuals residing in California at a rate of $200 per session. Each session is 55 minutes. Sessions are held weekly.

Can I cancel or reschedule my sessions?

You can cancel or reschedule a session up to 24 hours before scheduled session. If you cancel or reschedule a session within less than 24 hours of your session you will be charged for the full session cost. Each session is uniquely reserved and held for you, and other clients cannot book this time. You experience the most growth from showing up to your sessions regularly!

What happens if I don’t like therapy?

When going to therapy, sometimes things get tougher before they get better. It is encouraged to be open and honest about your feelings so that you and your therapist can better explore what’s going on and what is unfolding. Sometimes there may be projections and transference from earlier situations in life playing out in the therapy room.

There may also be situations where you and your therapist are simply not the best therapeutic match. You can choose to move onto a different therapist. Before the first session, Anna-Karin offers complimentary 15-minute phone consultations so that everyone can get a better feel if there is a good therapeutic match. If you start working together and then feel that you would benefit more from working with another therapist you will be provided with referrals.
