You are making the right decision! I know the very first session can provoke uncertainty, discomfort and anxiety. I will do my best to make this experience as comfortable as possible. Let's review the structure of your first session... You can expect a warm welcome and introduction. I will introduce myself, explain my role and provide information regarding confidentiality and its limits, privacy practices and obtain consent for treatment. I will provide you the opportunity to ask questions, to explain the reason you decided to seek therapy and to explore your goals. I will also gather information about your mental health history, medical history, supports, strengths and coping skills. Be assured that many clients leave their first session feeling relieved simply because they have had the opportunity to share their story in a supportive, confidential environment.
This clinical relationship is collaborative. You will have a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without judgement. You will feel heard, valued and respected. You will receive feedback while you explore patterns that no longer work for you to accomplish your goals.
Therapy works best when clients are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings and behaviors that are no longer conducive to positive outcomes. Clients who are willing to learn new skills and ready to make changes towards a successful future where they have positive relationships, social engagement and meaningful lives are encouraged to begin the journey. Tyantha will give you the guidance and support to become the best version of yourself.
