What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first session is a vital step in your mental health care journey, and is designed to be a comfortable and welcoming experience. The initial meeting is a time for you to share about your life, your experiences, and what brings you to therapy. Similarly, it's an opportunity for me to introduce myself, my approach, and how we can work together. We'll spend this session in a relaxed and safe environment, where you can be free to express yourself without judgment. I believe that building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is key to effective therapy. So getting comfortable with each other is a crucial part of this process. I'll ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your life, including current challenges, your history, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This conversation helps me tailor future sessions to your unique needs and goals. But remember, you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. This session is a great time for you to ask any questions you might have about the therapy process, my background, or anything else you're curious about. The goal is for you to leave the first meeting feeling heard, understood, and optimistic about our work together.
