FAQ
What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy (also called talk therapy) is a collaborative process that helps you understand yourself, manage emotional distress, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. It’s a safe space for healing, growth, and problem-solving, led by a trained professional.
What should I expect from therapy?
Therapy begins with an intake appointment where we learn about your background, goals, and current symptoms. From there, sessions are typically weekly or biweekly and last 50 minutes. Treatment is always personalized, you may explore thoughts, behaviors, relationships, trauma, or future goals depending on your needs.
Is therapy right for me?
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to manage your emotions, therapy can help. You don’t need a crisis to benefit from care, therapy is a proactive tool for building resilience, clarity, and confidence.
What therapeutic approaches do you use?
Dr. Green uses a flexible, integrative approach grounded in evidence-based models, including:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Trauma-informed care
-
Mindfulness-based strategies
Every treatment plan is built around your goals—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Can therapy work alongside medication or other treatments?
Absolutely. Therapy often enhances the effectiveness of medication, neurofeedback, or other interventions. At Behavioral Medicine Associates, we offer coordinated care that supports your whole mental health picture.
Do you offer teletherapy?
Yes. Secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions are available to residents of Illinois and Florida. Teletherapy offers flexibility while maintaining the same level of care and connection as in-person appointments.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No diagnosis is required to begin therapy. Many clients come to therapy simply feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain. Whether you’re managing a known condition or just need help navigating life, therapy can offer structure, support, and tools for positive change.
How long does therapy take to work?
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people see improvement in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Dr. Green will collaborate with you to set clear goals and track progress, so your therapy remains focused, flexible, and aligned with your needs over time.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Your sessions are private and confidential, with very few exceptions (such as situations involving immediate safety concerns or legal obligations). Dr. Green will review confidentiality policies clearly with you at the start of treatment.
Can I switch from another therapist to Behavioral Medicine Associates?
Yes. If you’ve worked with a therapist in the past but are seeking a new approach, fresh perspective, or more integrated care (e.g., therapy + medication), we’re here to help. We also offer diagnostic evaluations for individuals unsure if previous treatment addressed the full picture.
How do I get started?
Just contact our office to request an appointment. We’ll start with a brief consultation to make sure our services are the right fit, then schedule your intake session. No referral is needed.
