First session
During an intake psychotherapy session, you can expect the therapist to gather background information about your personal history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. The session often includes discussion of confidentiality, practice policies, and what the therapeutic process may look like. You may be asked about your physical and mental health history, relationships, coping strategies, and daily routines. The therapist’s role is to listen carefully, ask clarifying questions, and create a supportive, nonjudgmental space. By the end, you and your therapist will usually collaborate on identifying initial goals and next steps to guide your treatment journey.
Strengths
My biggest strength is working with individuals experiencing symptoms related to traumatic experiences (big or little), especially symptoms of a sexual nature such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and orgasmic dysfunction.
