## Common Questions

How Often Will I Meet With My Therapist?

Clients who see the best and fastest results meet **weekly** with their therapist for 2-3 months. Helping clients reach their goals (so they feel better faster!) has proven to be about **frequency** and **consistency** over the short term versus intermittently spaced sessions over a long period of time. (In other words – meet weekly for a short period of time rather than monthly for years!)

To ensure we are on track, we will check in monthly to see how the pace is going and how you are feeling so that we can make adjustments (or terminate if you have reached your goals).

Research consistently shows that clients who meet weekly make more progress and end up needing fewer overall sessions than clients who meet 2-4 times per month. (Check out the research articles [ONE](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10503307.2019.1566676) and [TWO](https://psycnet.apa.org/buy/2015-45474-001) for more information.)

When will I see change?

Many people scour the internet for the best “5 quick tips” guide for improving their mental health, losing weight, or getting in shape. On one hand, we believe we can see immediate change when we start to put time and effort into making changes. However, long-lasting change is an evolution over time that unfolds as you consistently act in new, more purpose-driven ways. Together, we can overcome psychological hurdles that have been keeping you from starting or maintaining positive changes. We will also set attainable goals to keep you moving toward your best, ideal self. We are committed to helping you meet your goals as efficiently as possible so you can get on with your life.

How long will it take to make lasting improvements?

Our practice's average treatment length for psychotherapy is about 12 – 20 sessions. However, we have clients we only meet with once or twice and others we have worked with for years. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them. The length of time it takes to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek a change in the first place. We are happy to talk with you about your therapy or coaching goals so we can decide whether that would fit within our scope of clinical practice.

What types of clients do you work with?

We work with clients throughout the lifespan – CHILDREN[,](https://tnmentalwellness.com/heather-harper/?hsLang=en) ADOLESCENTS, ADULTS, FAMILIES and COUPLES of all backgrounds. Our specialties are improving self-worth, improving relationships, navigating life transitions with grace and growth, and living consistently healthier lives, healing from grief + loss, healing from divorce + infidelity, permanent healthy lifestyle change. We have been honored to work with highly motivated clients who are committed and invested in the work involved in their own personal growth.

What is the difference between EMDR and Brainspotting?

EMDR and Brainspotting both use the link between eye position and the brain to help process trauma, but they work differently. EMDR is a structured method that uses bilateral stimulation (like side-to-side eye movements, tapping, or tones) while you briefly focus on a distressing memory. Brainspotting is more somatic-based, focusing on what you notice in your body while holding a specific eye position (a “brainspot”) that helps access and process trauma. EMDR is more protocol-driven, while Brainspotting is more body-led and internally guided.

Why shouldn’t I just take medication?

Medication alone cannot solve all issues. What medication does is treat the symptoms. Our work together is designed to explore the root of the issue, dig deep into your behavior, and teach strategies to help you accomplish your personal and/or relational goals. Medication can be effective and is sometimes needed in conjunction with therapy or coaching.

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?

We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions! Your active participation and dedication are crucial to your success. After all, we (typically) only see each other for a session a week. We recommend that clients view therapy as a short-term investment of time, money, and emotional energy. Setting the expectation that this is the time for you to really work to finally experience the changes you’re seeking can help you get the most out of each session. This mindset can also help you better apply the insights gained in the session to your regular life and shorten the sessions needed to experience lasting change.

What types of Couples Therapy do you offer, and what makes them so effective?

We specialize in two proven approaches to couples therapy: the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Both are research-backed and designed to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connections.

###### **Gottman Method Couples Therapy**

Based on over 40 years of research, the Gottman Method helps couples build a strong foundation and navigate conflict in healthy ways.

- Strengthens emotional connection and intimacy
- Teaches practical tools for conflict resolution
- Rebuilds trust and deepens long-term commitment

###### **Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)**

EFT focuses on transforming emotional bonds and communication patterns to help couples reconnect and heal.

- Helps partners feel emotionally safe and connected
- Breaks negative cycles and improves communication
- Research shows significant improvement in 70-75% of couples

Both approaches provide powerful tools to heal and strengthen relationships, tailored to your unique needs as a couple.

What is the difference between individual/couples therapy and group coaching?

We offer both individual and couples therapy AND group therapy services. Our approach and goals with the client vary somewhat depending on our approach. In general, however, our therapy and coaching work involves meeting the client where they are, gaining insight into how they got there, and moving toward empowerment goals for a better future.

**Individual Therapy:**

- **One-on-One Support** – Personalized guidance tailored to your unique needs.
- **Deep Exploration** – Focuses on your personal history, emotions, and goals.
- **Private & Confidential** – A safe space to express yourself without group dynamics.
- **Flexible Approach** – Sessions are customized to your pace and progress.

**Group Therapy:**

- **Shared Healing** – Connect with others facing similar challenges.
- **Real-World Insights** – Gain new perspectives and support from peers.
- **Sense of Belonging** – Feel less alone in your struggles.
- **Skill Building** – Learn and practice coping strategies in a supportive environment.

Both individual and group therapy can be powerful tools for healing. Not sure which is right for you? We can help guide your decision based on your needs.

## Cancellation Policy

How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment?

The client is expected to attend each scheduled session on time. A canceled or delayed appointment delays our work and can negatively impact other clients. Since your appointments involve the reservation of time specifically for you and out of respect for your therapist and our other clients, a minimum of 24 hours' notice is required for rescheduling or canceling an appointment. 

We appreciate more than 24-hour notice when possible, as we can then make that time available to other clients. Therefore, if you should know before the required 24-hour notice that you cannot attend our session, PLEASE call the office or email/text your therapist so we have time to fill your slot and can put another client in your space who may need it. The more time, the better for the therapist and other clients who are in need.

You can reschedule your appointment by emailing your therapist, calling/texting the office 615-510-4551, or via the [scheduling link](https://tnmentalwellness.janeapp.com/?_gl=1*1d61w5h*_gcl_au*OTAwNjc5OTc2LjE3MzA4MzcyMDg.*_ga*NTI0OTI3OTg5LjE3Mjk3OTA1Mjc.*_ga_3Z20HKT4VR*MTczODE0ODYwMi45My4xLjE3MzgxNTE0NDMuMC4wLjA.) on the website. 

A late cancellation or no-show appointment hurts at least three people: you, your therapist, and another client who could have potentially utilized your time slot. Therapy sessions are scheduled in advance and are reserved exclusively for our clients. When a session is canceled without adequate notice, we are unable to fill this time slot by offering it to another client, a client on the waitlist, or a client with a clinical emergency.

This cancellation policy applies even if missing the appointment was unintentional. In the event of prohibitive weather, we can conduct the session on the phone or via video (individual counseling). If both parties in a couple cannot attend, consider having one come alone instead of canceling altogether and wasting the slot. Phone or video sessions are paid up-front in advance of the session.

What happens if I frequently cancel or miss appointments?

Frequent cancellations (3 or more in 6 months or 2 consecutive) and/or missed appointments (no show) will result in the termination of treatment.

If you have arranged with your therapist to have recurring appointments, the next recurring appointment will stay in the calendar. Therefore, please call the office if you choose to cancel that appointment to avoid a second No Show/Late Cancel charge of your FULL SESSION FEE. A voicemail is sufficient as they are date and time-stamped. After the second consecutive No Show/Late Cancel, the recurring appointment will be removed.

Although Tennessee Mental Wellness may send you text or email reminders about upcoming appointments, this is done as a courtesy and only if you consent to receive such communications by providing us with your email address and cell number. It remains your sole responsibility to keep track of and timely attend all scheduled therapy appointments, whether or not you receive the text or email reminder. You are responsible for informing the office if your phone number or email has changed. After two consecutive cancellations or no-shows, you cannot schedule another appointment and will be referred to another provider.

What are the fees for no-shows and late cancellations?

No-Show or Late Cancellation Fee is the Full Session Fee

No-Show Fees: Anytime you fail to attend a scheduled appointment without giving appropriate prior notice of cancellation, you will be charged the no-show fee for the no-show session. The credit card information or other payment information you previously provided will be used to process this payment. By providing us with your credit card information or booking an appointment, and in your intake consent form, you consent to this policy. Multiple no-shows will result in the termination of therapy.

Late Cancellation Fees: Any session that is missed by canceling less than 24 hours in advance will be charged the full late cancellation fee. You will be charged even if the cancellation is work-related and even if you rescheduled the appointment. The credit card information you previously provided will be used to process this payment. By providing us with your credit card information or booking an appointment, you consent to this policy. Repeated late cancellations (more than two) may result in the termination of therapy. Multiple no-shows will result in the termination of therapy.

How does the 24-hour notice requirement work?

The full session fee will be charged when you miss or cancel an appointment without giving 24-hour advanced notice. This means that if an appointment is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on a Tuesday, notice must be given by 3:00 p.m. on Monday at the absolute latest. Note that if your appointment is on a Monday, the cancellation needs to be provided no later than the prior Friday by your appointment time to be considered proper 24-hour notice. You can cancel your appointment by calling the office or sending a secure text message to your therapist.

What happens if I arrive late?

Your wait time is kept to a minimum. Due to the length of time provided for each appointment, it is critical that you arrive 5 minutes early for your appointments. If you are more than 7 minutes late to your appointment, we will have no choice but to reschedule your appointment, and you will be responsible for the full session fee (as per our “no show” policy). To avoid paying no-show fees, we require at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice for all cancellations (as described above). Both therapist and client have a grace period of 7 minutes.

Additionally, please understand that therapy should be viewed as any other important medical appointment would be viewed. While it is a time commitment, this is for your personal betterment, and consistency is key in order to achieve this. If the therapeutic relationship is terminated pursuant to this policy, your case may be reopened at any time should you so choose. However, you may be placed on a waiting list if other clients are waiting to use your time slot. This is standard practice with most therapy agencies and private practice offices.

###### Thank You!!!

We value you as a client and hope to help you with your future endeavors; however, we can only accomplish this with your understanding of your obligations set forth in this policy and consistency with treatment. We appreciate your understanding. Your therapist looks forward to beginning this therapeutic journey alongside you!
