First session
During our first session together, we will start with brief introductions about myself and therapy process. Additionally, we will review paperwork and then we will dive into the specific challenges that you are facing. Lastly, we will create treatment goals for us to work towards in follow-up sessions. Your first appointment will be scheduled for ninety minutes. However, the appointment may run shorter or longer depending on how much information we need to review during your first appointment.
