In our first session, my goal is to understand what brought you to therapy and what you want to feel different in your life. We’ll talk about what’s been challenging, any patterns you’re noticing, and what’s feeling most important to focus on.
I’ll also ask about your strengths and supports so we can build on what’s already working. Together, we’ll begin creating a plan that feels realistic and manageable.
Most clients leave the first session feeling more clear, grounded, and relieved to have a direction. I’m supportive, but also direct when it’s helpful, so you leave with both insight and something you can actually use. You can expect a warm, structured, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported.
