Curious about what your sessions will look like? Well, let me tell you. After you complete the first session paperwork online, you will have your first session. In our first session, we will go over the finer details of the paperwork, address any questions and then jump into what is bringing you in. For my couples, we will discuss how the two of you met in addition to what is bringing you into therapy. I also send my couples a Gottman Connect assessment to complete. This assessment will give me a more detailed overview of what is going on for the two of you. You will also receive a pdf of the tools that will be helpful for you given the results of the assessment. Our second session, we will complete a family map, so that I can understand where your strong and tense relationships are, what major events you have experienced in your life and patterns in family dynamics. We will also discuss your supportive friendships. For couples, I like to do the family maps with one partner at a time, so we can either split this session in half where I meet with one partner for the first half of the session and the other partner the second half of the session. OR I can meet with one partner during the second session and the other partner the third session. Our third session (0r maybe fourth for couples), we will get specific in setting the goals that you have for therapy. Throughout these sessions and in the sessions that follow we will also be discussing what is going on for you and what you are currently needing based on what you’re experiencing. I will be giving you tools along the way.
