Start Your Journey
Come as you are. We’ll meet you there—and help you move forward.
The length of counseling varies based on your goals and the concerns you bring in. If you have a specific, clearly defined issue, we may be able to focus on that and make meaningful progress in just a few sessions. More complex concerns—such as long-standing patterns, relationship issues, or multiple stressors—often benefit from a longer course of counseling.
We’ll regularly check in together to make sure therapy continues to feel helpful and aligned with your needs.
Session frequency depends on several factors, including the nature of your concerns, your goals, and how much support you need at a given time. Many clients start with weekly sessions and adjust as progress is made.
Your willingness to engage in the process—both in sessions and between sessions—also plays a role. We’ll collaborate to find a schedule that feels manageable, supportive, and effective for you.

Tonya Ratliff is knowledgeable, realistic, down-to-earth, and kind. She has helped me over the last 10 years navigate raising my family while caring for aging parents and family members, and the challenges that come with it. She uses her training, expertise, and her own life to understand my feelings and experiences. She is a wonderful resource, and I would highly recommend her!
