During their first session, a client can expect to receive a warm approach and rapport building from the beginning. They will be heard and receive questioning that comes with compassion. They will be informed of the person-centered, solution focused approach I take to the therapeutic process. They will be affirmed. They can also expect to be provided with an opportunity to ask questions that they may have about me or any other concerns they may have about beginning their therapeutic journey with me.
