First session
To start, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other better. I’m interested in understanding your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. We’ll talk about what you can expect from our sessions to ensure you feel safe and supported. Feel free to ask any questions you might have—this is your space, and I want you to feel comfortable and informed. I’m here to support you, and I’m looking forward to starting this journey together.
