Clients can expect the first session to be a full 55-minute appointment focused on understanding what brings them to therapy and determining whether we are a good fit to work together. We will review your intake paperwork, discuss your current concerns, goals for therapy, and relevant history so I can begin forming a clear picture of what support you need.
My approach is collaborative and structured, so together we will begin identifying priorities and what direction treatment may take moving forward. For many clients, this includes discussing modalities I use such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Gottman Method for couples therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), depending on your needs.
