Individual Counseling- Initial Intake

Service Description

Initial individual sessions are FREE. During an initial therapy session, you can expect to begin building a relationship with me as your therapist. I will create a safe and welcoming environment in which you can share your thoughts and feelings, while I listen and asks questions to gain a deeper understanding of your unique experiences and needs. I will also likely ask you about your reasons for seeking therapy, and what specific concerns or issues they would like to address. This may include discussing any symptoms or behaviors that are causing distress, as well as exploring your personal history and current life circumstances. In addition, I will provide information about my approach to counseling and what you can expect from future sessions. We will also discuss any relevant ethical or confidentiality issues, and answer any questions you may have. Ultimately, the goal of the initial therapy session is to establish a foundation for ongoing work and to begin developing a plan for addressing your concerns. While it may feel intimidating to open up to a new therapist, you can expect to feel supported and respected throughout the process, as I work collaboratively with you to develop an individualized plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals.
