Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Licensed Counseling or Therapy care with Dr. Green:
- What's the difference between a Counselor, a Psychologist, and a Psychiatrist?
- Dr. Green's practice offers counseling services. A counselor, like Dr. Green, holds a Master's degree and provides talk therapy. Psychologists have doctorates and specialize in therapy and testing, while psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication.
- What actually happens in a therapy session?
- A typical session is a safe and confidential conversation where you'll talk with Dr. Green about your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. She will listen without judgment, offer new perspectives, and help you develop coping skills and strategies to reach your goals. It's a collaborative process focused on your needs.
- Do I have to have a major 'problem' to go to counseling?
- No. Dr. Green's practice helps people of all walks of life, not just those experiencing crises. Many seek counseling for personal growth, relationship improvement, stress management, or navigating life transitions. It's a proactive step toward mental wellness.
- My partner and I are struggling with communication. Is this something you can help with?
- Yes, couples counseling is a core service at my practice. Dr. Green creates a safe space for partners to address communication challenges and work through conflicts. She can help teach effective communication skills and rebuild connection and understanding in the relationship.
- How is family therapy different from individual therapy?
- Dr. Green's family therapy focuses on the interactions and dynamics within the family system, rather than just one person's thoughts and feelings. The goal is to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance the overall functioning of the family unit. Individual therapy, in contrast, primarily addresses the individual's internal experiences.
- My work life is incredibly stressful. Is that a valid reason to seek counseling?

CBT is a hands-on approach that helps clients identify, challenge, and change negative thought patterns and behaviors to better manage issues like anxiety, stress, and depression by learning practical skills.
- I'm dealing with a recent loss. Can counseling help with grief?
- Yes. Grief is a natural process, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Dr. Green provides a compassionate space to process the complex emotions of loss, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and navigate the journey of grieving at your own pace.
