What to Expect When Starting Therapy
I know that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming. It is common to have a lot of questions about what getting help will look like, especially in the beginning. I want to give my clients the information they need to find greater ease and comfort as they explore therapy.
Before Your
First Session
Once you've reached out and decided we're a good fit, we will find a time to meet for the first time. Next, I'll send you a link to set up your own unique account on my therapy notes server. Here, you will find and complete intake documents asking some basic information about yourself and explaining the essentials of counseling with me. Note any questions you have when reviewing your paperwork to ask about at your first session.
At Your
First Session
If you're meeting with your therapy virtually, you will log-on to the therapy notes portal where you completed your intake. If you're meeting in person, you can head inside 202 S 5th Avenue and take a seat while you wait for your therapist to retrieve you.
In session, I will introduce you to therapy, share important information regarding confidentiality, policies, and billing, and answer any initial questions. Then, you will begin to explore more in depth what brought you to therapy, what life has been like for you, and what you'd like it to be like.
