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

During our initial session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where they feel comfortable sharing their experiences. We'll start by discussing the reasons they sought therapy and their goals for treatment. I'll ask some questions to gather relevant background information, such as their personal history and current challenges. We'll also explore their strengths, coping mechanisms, and any previous experiences with therapy. This helps me tailor our approach to their individual needs and preferences. Additionally, I'll provide an overview of the therapeutic process, including what they can expect from future sessions and any potential homework assignments or techniques we might use. Most importantly, the first session is an opportunity for clients to get a sense of whether we're a good fit and feel comfortable working together. They're encouraged to ask questions and express any concerns they may have. By the end of the session, clients can expect to have a better understanding of how therapy can support them on their journey toward greater well-being, and we'll collaboratively decide on a plan for moving forward.
