What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As we begin our therapeutic journey together, I want to ensure you feel comfortable and informed about what to expect from our first session. Initially, we'll take some time to get to know each other and establish a foundation of trust and confidentiality. I'll provide an overview of the therapeutic process, including discussing our goals for therapy and how we'll work together to achieve them. We'll also go over important boundaries and disclosures, such as confidentiality and its limitations, as well as any legal or ethical obligations. It's essential for you to feel confident in our ability to maintain a safe and confidential space for our discussions. Additionally, we'll address any safety concerns you may have and develop an emergency plan in case of crisis situations. Your well-being and safety are paramount, and I'm here to support you through any challenges that may arise. Overall, our first session is an opportunity for us to establish a strong therapeutic alliance and begin laying the groundwork for your healing journey. I'm here to listen, support, and guide you every step of the way.
