Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about therapy and how it works
What happens in the first session?
The first session (intake) is 80 minutes. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, and what you hope to achieve. I'll explain how therapy works and answer any questions. Together, we'll create a plan for your treatment.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on your goals and what you're working through. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in on your progress.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, absolutely. Everything you share in therapy is confidential. I won't share information with anyone without your written consent. The only exceptions are if there's a serious risk of harm.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. Online therapy is available via secure video call. It's ideal for Cambodians living abroad, expats who travel frequently, or anyone who prefers the comfort of their own space.
What languages do you offer therapy in?
I'm bilingual and offer therapy in both Khmer and English. You can choose whichever language you're most comfortable expressing yourself in.
How do I book a session?
You can reach out in two ways:
What's the difference between a psychologist and psychiatrist?
Psychologists provide talk therapy — we help you understand and work through your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication.
Do you accept insurance?
I don't bill insurance directly. However, I can provide documentation that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to change your appointment. Late cancellations or no-shows may be charged the full session fee.
Is this a crisis service?
No, this is not a crisis service. If you're in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or go to your nearest hospital.
What therapeutic approaches do you use?
I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, and trauma-informed therapy. I tailor my approach to what works best for you.
Can you help with children and adolescents?
Yes. I work with children and adolescents (ages 5-18) on issues like anxiety, behavioral challenges, ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties.
Still have questions?
Feel free to reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions before you book.
