Getting Started
How do I request an appointment?
You can request an appointment by calling our office, emailing us, or submitting the contact form on our website. After we receive your request, someone from our team will follow up to learn more about what you are looking for and help determine the next step.
What happens after I contact Endeavor?
We will ask about your main concerns, who therapy is for, your scheduling needs, and whether you are looking for in-person therapy, telehealth, or a combination of both. From there, we will help match you with a clinician who fits your needs.
How do you match clients with a therapist?
We consider the client’s age, concerns, personality, goals, and availability. Because Endeavor is a group practice, we are able to match clients with clinicians who have different areas of experience and therapeutic styles.
Do you work with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families?
Yes. Our clinicians work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, parents, and families. We support clients dealing with anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, depression, behavioral concerns, family conflict, school stress, relationship issues, life transitions, and self-esteem.
Sessions
What can I expect in the first session?
The first session is a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other. Your therapist will ask about what brought you in, what you hope to work on, and any background information that may be helpful. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting.
How long are therapy sessions?
Most therapy sessions are typically around 45 to 50 minutes. Session length may vary depending on the clinician, client needs, and type of therapy being provided.
How often will I come to therapy?
Many clients begin with weekly sessions, especially when they are first starting therapy. Over time, frequency may change depending on progress, goals, scheduling, and clinical needs.
How long does therapy take?
There is no single answer because every client and family is different. Some people come to therapy for a specific short-term concern, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist will work with you to clarify goals and review progress over time.
How does therapy work?
Therapy is a collaborative process. Your therapist will help you better understand what is getting in the way, identify patterns, build coping skills, strengthen communication, and work toward meaningful goals. The approach will be tailored to your needs.
Parents and Families
If my child is in therapy, how involved will I be?
Parent involvement depends on the child’s age, concerns, and treatment goals. For younger children, parents are often more involved. For teens, therapy may include a balance of privacy for the teen and appropriate communication with parents. Your therapist will explain what makes sense for your situation.
Do you work with school-related issues?
Yes. We support children, teens, and young adults dealing with school stress, peer relationships, academic pressure, executive functioning challenges, organization, motivation, and emotional struggles connected to school.
Do you offer family therapy or parenting support?
Yes. We work with families and parents on communication, conflict, routines, behavior concerns, boundaries, and changing family dynamics. Sometimes this may involve family sessions, parent sessions, or a combination of both.
My child or teen does not want to go to therapy. What should I do?
It is common for children and teens to feel unsure about therapy at first. We work to create a comfortable, respectful environment where they do not feel judged or pressured. Parents can also contact us to discuss the best way to introduce therapy and begin the process.
Telehealth
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth sessions for clients who are located in New York at the time of their appointment. Telehealth can be used regularly or when in-person appointments are not possible or convenient, depending on the client’s needs and clinical appropriateness.
Is telehealth as effective as in-person therapy?
Telehealth can be very helpful for many clients. Whether it is the right fit depends on the client’s age, concerns, privacy at home, comfort with video sessions, and treatment goals. We can help determine whether telehealth makes sense for you.
Can I switch between in-person therapy and telehealth?
In many cases, yes. Some clients use telehealth occasionally because of scheduling, transportation, school, work, or other conflicts. Availability may depend on the clinician and clinical needs.
Common Concerns
I have never talked to anyone before. Is therapy only for people who are really struggling?
No. Therapy is for anyone who wants support, clarity, growth, or help navigating a difficult time. Many people begin therapy because something in their life is not working the way they want it to, and they are ready for support.
What is the difference between talking to a therapist and talking to a friend or family member?
Friends and family can be very supportive, but therapy is different. A therapist is trained to help you understand patterns, build skills, process difficult emotions, and work toward goals in a confidential and nonjudgmental space.
Can therapy be used along with medication?
Yes. For some clients, therapy and medication may be used together as part of treatment. Therapy can help clients better understand patterns, develop coping and problem-solving skills, improve communication, and work toward meaningful changes in their lives. Decisions about medication should be discussed with a qualified medical provider.
I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do?
Be open, honest, and willing to participate in the process. Therapy is most helpful when clients reflect between sessions, practice new skills, and communicate with their therapist about what is or is not working.
