Appointments typically last for 50 minutes, although sessions can range from 30 to 90 minutes.  I believe that the first session or two are “assessments” for me and for you.  This means that you are given a chance to be sure you are comfortable with me, and you can determine if you believe I can help you.  If you do not feel comfortable with me, I can refer you to someone who may be better able to help.  If you are not satisfied, there is no obligation to return.

Sessions are tailored specifically to meet your needs.  Depending on your circumstances, therapy can be brief or more long-term.  As our work together progresses, we will discuss the amount of sessions you may need to attend.  The duration of therapy will also be reviewed on a continual basis to determine effectiveness of interventions.

I am currently available for appointments on Wednesday afternoons and evenings, as well as Saturday mornings and afternoons.  Appointments can be made by email at erin@erinmorey.com or by phone at 240-565-5264. 

It is my legal duty to safeguard your protected health information.  The data gathered in the therapy sessions is confidential and privileged.  Your written consent is needed for release of information unless you or others are in danger to self or others.

In order to establish rapport with the child/adolescent, they must feel comfortable talking about anything and everything (which will include their parents and family) with me.  If the young person is in danger to self or others, parents will be informed immediately.  Disclosure of information will be in the presence of the adolescent and possible, the child, depending on his or her age.  Family sessions will be scheduled in order to address on-going concerns.
