What to Expect
The first appointment is typically an evaluation session. A time for me to gather information about what brings you to treatment, the symptoms you are experiencing, and to hear more about your life and history. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and assess your comfort in our working together. Finding someone you feel can listen, understand and support you through this time in your life is probably the most important choice you can make when entering therapy and I encourage you to make the decision that feels right for you. I firmly believe that the alliance between therapist and client is one of the most important aspects of a successful therapeutic relationship.
At our second appointment, we will begin the therapy process and together develop goals for treatment.
