I will gather information about the client's personal history, current challenges, and any relevant background information. Clients can anticipate questions aimed at understanding their strengths, coping mechanisms, and support systems. Additionally, I will outline the therapeutic process, confidentiality guidelines, and answer any questions or concerns the client may have to establish a foundation of trust and collaboration.
