The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a comfortable, trusting therapeutic relationship. We will discuss the concerns that brought you to counseling, explore relevant aspects of your personal, family, relationship, and mental health history, and identify your goals for therapy. Together, we will develop an initial plan tailored to your needs and strengths. This session is also a chance for you to ask questions about the counseling process and determine whether our work together feels like a good fit. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to begin your journey toward growth and healing.
