Therapy can be challenging to jump into. I want to humanize the experience as much as possible. Our first session will be introducing ourselves to one another and learning more about why you are seeking therapy services at this time. Lots of questions, totally normal for the first session. We will discuss all the formalities such as diagnosis (if needed), treatment plan, frequency of sessions, and what you want to get out of therapy. From there, our sessions will focus on making movement towards treatment goals.
