Therapy Q & A

 

What is Therapy?

Therapy is a form of counseling that focuses on identifying and understanding unresolved personal issues that have a negative effect on your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interpersonal relationships. It allows you to process past experiences and residual feelings so they no longer control your thoughts and actions, resulting in deeper self-awareness, a more positive outlook, a greater authentic self, and a sense of balance and harmony in your life.

 

 

Who can benefit from therapy?

If you’re struggling with issues that affect your mental health, marriage, career, or other life areas, you can benefit from therapy. Lin and Aaron provide therapy to a wide range of individuals from ultra-high-net-worth executive professionals and athletes struggling with career pressures, anxieties and transitions to young adults combatting digital addictions or other behavioral issues. Some of the conditions that Lin and Aaron specialize in include:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Stress

  • Career performance

  • Past trauma

  • Relationship troubles

  • Communication challenges

  • Self-destructive behaviors

  • Poor self-image

  • Life transitions

Lin and Aaron also incorporate holistic, wellness and spiritually focused methods of treatment into therapy such as meditation, mind-body connection work, and nutritional and fitness coaching as well as other forms of therapy such as Hypnosis or Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

This multidisciplinary approach helps you become aware of negative thinking, understand the underlying drives behind your behavior, and discover your own strategies to cope with specific challenges.

Lin and Aaron will also assess for underlying mental health conditions, sleep problems, or addictions for which psychotropic medications may be beneficial. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) may be suggested in the short-term or long-term if holistic methods and behavioral changes are not sufficient in addressing your concerns. In such cases Lin and Aaron will encourage you to be evaluated by the team’s psychiatrist to determine if you may benefit from medication therapies.

How long will I need to be in therapy?

How long you will need to remain in therapy depends on your individual goals, the types of issues you need to work through, and other important considerations. Unlike more traditional styles of therapy, Lin and Aaron strive to get to the root of your issues as quickly as possible while providing the most personalized and quality care that has a positive, lasting impact on your emotional health and well-being.

What should I expect from counseling services?

Therapy is a collaborative effort that focuses on finding solutions and maximizing your strengths. Your therapist will begin with an initial assessment to learn more about your presenting problems and goals, and to evaluate any underlying issues. This assessment will allow your therapist to determine your needs in order to curate a customized treatment plan and to provide the most personalized care. Depending on your specific needs and goals, sessions are scheduled bi-weekly, weekly, or two or more times per week and may last for 1 to 2 hours per session. Deep dives are also available which can often benefit individuals, couples or families who are in unexpected and sudden crisis, with sessions lasting 3 or more hours.

What else should I know about therapy?

Therapy services are available in-person and through phone calls, Skype, Zoom or Facetime interactions. Your therapist will also provide you with text message and/or email check-ins and communications. To learn more about virtual therapy, please visit the Teletherapy service page.

Currently therapy appointments are being held in-person at the Family Addiction private and discreet office in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. Additionally, Family Addiction Specialist offers home and office visits, or concierge services to other convenient and safe locations.

If you’re ready for therapy, call Family Addiction Specialist at their Manhattan or Brooklyn office to set up an initial assessment and talk about your goals and needs.

When requested or determined to be more beneficial for the patient, Family Addiction Specialist also conducts coaching for individuals and families. Please review the coaching service pages for more information.
