Therapy is a place where you can talk about your fears, dreams, shame, worries, excitement, and emotions with complete privacy and without judgement. Whether your struggling with intrusive thoughts, addiction, or with a relationship, therapy is a place where you can safely unpack those thoughts. With privacy comes the ability to be authentic. And with authenticity, you’ll craft your goals for what you’d like to see differently in your life. Whether it’s making different decisions, reacting to challenges more effectively, becoming a better partner, or finding balance, therapy is a way to reach to those works. You’ll meet with your dedicated therapist twice a week initially to help gain perspective into your own personal goals and realize a path of progression.
Your first appointment will be with a clinical lead to get a better understanding of your history and what your goals are for therapy. From there, you’ll be paired with the best therapist based on your needs. We don’t believe a quick questionnaire is enough information to make the best therapeutic match for you. Once you have your therapist, you’ll spend the first several weeks during Phase 1 meeting twice a week to unpack your specific challenges and develop your personalized plan for growth. This will transition into Phase 2 where individual therapy is complimented with family or couples therapy. You’ll continue to work on your own progression but also focus on building healthy and strong relationships. Phase 3 is the final bridge between the work you’ve accomplished in Phase 1 & 2 and reaching your one-year milestones.
We understand it can be difficult to feel like you’re making progress with a new therapist when you’re only meeting once per week. At Avocy, you’ll initially work with your therapist during Phase 1 twice per week to help overcome these challenges and make meaningful progress more quickly.
During Phase 2 of treatment, you’ll step down to once-a-week therapy based on your needs, goals, and progress. Additionally, this is when most patients engage in family or couples therapy to compliment their existing goals. The focus in weekly therapy is generally connection and improving the way you connect with those around you.
During Phase 3, therapy is typically once or twice a month and meant to help provide longer-term support as you work toward your one-year milestones. By maintaining your therapist, you’ll have additional support along the way if you ever need it.
At Avocy, you’ll have access to your dedicated therapist twice a week for the first four to six weeks of starting treatment. More therapy, faster progress, and all covered by most insurance plans.

You’ll work with your therapist to focus on your own goals and personal journey. At Avocy, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, we have proven phase approach to guide your personalized journey.
Have you ever struggled to connect with a new therapist? Or felt like you were just starting to make meaningful progress when the hour is up? Or struggled to remember where you left off last session?
Waiting a full week between sessions with a new therapist can feel disruptive. Have peace of mind at Avocy that you’ll have the support you’ll need to find meaningful inner discovery.

We don’t utilize traditional treatment groups such as worksheets, processing, or psychoeducation.
