Your first therapy session is focused on getting to know you and developing a deeper understanding of your unique experiences and concerns. We'll review your personal, medical, mental health, and family history, explore the challenges that led you to seek therapy, and begin identifying your strengths and goals. During the first several sessions, we'll work collaboratively to develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects your needs and priorities. I also provide education about the therapeutic process and recommended treatment approaches, while creating plenty of space for you to ask questions so you feel informed, comfortable, and actively involved in your care from the very beginning.
Before scheduling a first appointment, I encourage prospective clients to participate in a complimentary 15-minute consultation call. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any initial questions, and determine whether we're a good fit for working together.
