In the first session, you can expect a calm, judgment-free space. We’ll move at your pace and focus on creating safety and trust. You don’t have to share everything right away—we’ll simply start by getting to know one another, discussing what brings you here, and what you’d like to get out of our time together. Healing starts with feeling safe and understood, and that’s where we begin.
For younger clients, the first session is all about getting to know each other in a fun and relaxed way. We might play a game or do an activity while we talk about things you like, your family, and what made you want to come to therapy. It’s a time to get comfortable and understand that therapy is a safe space to talk, share, and be yourself.
