1. How do I get started?

The first step is scheduling a free 15 minute consultation. This gives you a chance to ask questions, share what you are looking for, and get a sense of whether Dubry Counseling Group is the right fit. You can request a consultation through our contact page or by calling (202) 853-2403.

2. What happens in the first session?

Your first session is an intake appointment. Your clinician will ask about what brought you to therapy, your background, and your goals. It is a conversation, not an evaluation. You do not need to have everything figured out before you come in.

3. How do I know which therapist is right for me?

Our team page includes detailed bios for each clinician, including their specializations, treatment approaches, and backgrounds. If you are unsure, contact us and we will help match you with the clinician who is the best fit for your needs.

4. How long does therapy last?

That depends on your goals and needs. Some clients come for a focused period of a few months. Others work with us longer term. Your clinician will discuss a general treatment plan with you early in the process and revisit it as you progress.

5. What does a typical therapy session look like?

Sessions are 50 minutes and held either in person at our office at 2001 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC or via secure telehealth. Your clinician will follow your lead on what to focus on while providing structure and guidance to help you make progress toward your goals.

6. How often will I meet with my therapist?

Most clients start with weekly sessions. Frequency can be adjusted based on your needs, schedule, and progress. Your clinician will work with you to find a cadence that makes sense..

7. What if therapy is not working for me?

Fit matters in therapy. If you feel like the approach or the relationship is not working, say so. We can adjust the approach, discuss what is not clicking, or help you find a better match. Your progress is the priority.
