During your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, relevant background, and what you’re hoping to get out of treatment. This session is also a space for you to ask questions and get a feel for my style to determine if we’re a good fit.
You can expect a supportive, non-judgmental conversation where there is no pressure to have everything figured out or to share more than you’re ready to. I’ll help guide the conversation, reflect what I’m hearing, and begin identifying themes or patterns that may be contributing to what you’re experiencing.
By the end of the session, we’ll discuss next steps and begin outlining goals for therapy. Some clients leave feeling relieved simply having a space to talk, while others leave with gentle insight or grounding strategies to support them between sessions. The pace is intentional and centered on what feels most helpful for you.
