Taking that first brave step towards healing can feel both daunting and exhilarating, and I want to congratulate you on embracing this empowering journey - you've already shown incredible strength by being here today.

I am both a country and city girl. I enjoy outdoors and being around people. I enjoy all ages from 16-99. I like to humbly say I am experienced in multiple therapies and have worked in all areas of Behavioral Health from inpatient to outpatient over 20 years of experience. I am open, supportive, and honest. Sessions start with you and where you are at. We talk about your concerns and what you would like to achieve. We both then identify how to support you. I view each person as unique and have their own individual concerns/struggles.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
