My first session
You may be curious about what will happen during your first session.
Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming and taking the first step to meet a therapist can be challenging, my initial session is offered at a reduced rate and it will gives us both the opportunity to decide whether I am the right therapist for you. I like to think of it as an assessment session for both of us and see how/if we can work together.
Each therapist has their own unique approach to starting therapy with new clients, but there are certain elements that are typically included in the initial session.
Your first appointment gives you the opportunity to ensure you feel at ease with your therapist, while also allowing them to assess whether they have the right skills and expertise to assist you.
This session will involve introductions, establishing agreements, and giving you the chance to share your experiences and describe the challenges you’re facing.
