Question 1

What should I expect from my first therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Your first individual therapy session is an opportunity for you to ask questions about the therapy process and about my approach. It is also an opportunity for me to learn more about you, including what brings you to therapy and your potential goals. I will likely ask you many questions that helps to create some context around how therapy can be beneficial- you are free to answer them (or not!). Meeting a new therapist can be daunting, but I hope to make your experience as comfortable as possible!
