Frequently Asked Questions About Services with Tarriance in St. Paul-Minneapolis

Thank you for bringing your curiosity and thoughtfulness to the process of finding the right therapist. I’m Kathy Johnson, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), serving clients at Tarriance, my St. Paul-Minneapolis area practice. I additionally offer online therapy for residents throughout the state of Minnesota. I know you likely have many questions about therapy and what you can expect from working with me. I’m always happy to answer these questions, if you would like to schedule a preliminary free 15-minute phone consultation, and I also cover these questions during our first therapy session. You can get started with the answers to some of the frequently asked questions I hear on this page. I look forward to speaking with you soon. 

If I Start with Coaching or Consulting, Can I Switch to Counseling or Vice Versa? 

Each of these three services, while they may seem similar, are actually very unique in their purpose, scope, and method. Before we get started, we will work together to make sure we have a clearly defined intent and scope and will come to an agreement on what the nature of our work together will be. It is then important that we do not switch back and forth from one modality to another as that would muddy the waters and become a less helpful experience for you. If we realize along the way that you needed counseling when you started with coaching, or vice versa, I will work with you to help you find the resources you need or if appropriate we will bring closure to one service and begin a newly defined helping relationship.
