What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session with me, clients can expect several key components: Initial Assessment: The session typically begins with an initial assessment, where I gather essential information about the client's background, history, and their current concerns. This helps me gain a comprehensive understanding of their unique situation. Establishing Trust: I create a safe and non-judgmental environment to build trust and rapport with the client. This is an essential foundation for effective therapy. Goal Setting: Clients will have the opportunity to discuss their therapy goals, what they hope to achieve, and the specific issues they want to address during the therapy process. This helps set the direction for the treatment. Clarifying Expectations: I will clarify what clients can expect from the therapy process, including the frequency and duration of sessions, confidentiality, and any specific therapeutic approaches or techniques I plan to use. Client Questions: Clients are encouraged to ask any questions they have about the therapeutic process, my qualifications, or any other concerns they may have.
