During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you feel heard and respected from the very beginning.
We'll talk about your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy. For children, the first session may involve meeting with parents or caregivers to gather information about the child's needs, strengths, and family dynamics. For couples, we'll explore the concerns that brought you to therapy and discuss your goals for the relationship.
The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about my approach and determine whether I am a good fit for your needs. Together, we'll begin identifying goals and developing a plan that feels meaningful and achievable. There is no pressure to share everything at once—therapy is a process, and we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you
