I will invite you to share what is bringing you to therapy at this specific moment in your life. We will discuss the current challenges, symptoms, or stressors you are facing. To help me understand you as a whole person, we will look at a snapshot of your history. This may include your family dynamics, support systems, medical history, and any previous experiences you’ve had with therapy. We will talk about what you hope to gain from our time together. Whether you have highly specific objectives or just a general sense of wanting to feel better, we will work together to define what progress looks like for you. Therapy is a collaborative partnership. By the end of our first hour, we will discuss next steps and decide on a scheduling rhythm (such as weekly or bi-weekly meetings) that fits your needs. The most important element of this first meeting is seeing how it feels for us to work together. Therapy is most effective when you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I look forward to meeting you and starting this collaborative journey.
