Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous decision, and your initial session is an opportunity to explore what’s been on your mind in a safe and welcoming space.
Here’s what you can expect during your first session:
1. A Warm Welcome and Understanding
From the moment we start, my goal is to help you feel comfortable and heard. We'll begin by getting to know each other, with a focus on your needs, goals, and any challenges you're facing. There’s no rush—this session is about building trust and making sure you feel safe to express yourself.
2. Understanding Your Concerns
We'll take time to explore what brought you to therapy and understand the issues you want to address. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or something else, we’ll work together to gain clarity on your emotions and experiences.
3. Setting Your Goals
I believe in collaboration, so we’ll discuss what you hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we’ll outline clear, meaningful goals to guide our work together, making sure that each step forward is aligned with your personal values and aspirations.
4. Establishing a Roadmap for Therapy
Depending on what you share, we may begin exploring different therapeutic approaches that best suit your needs. We’ll talk about what strategies may be most helpful for you, and I’ll provide support tailored specifically to your unique situation.
5. A Non-judgmental, Supportive Space
Above all, I want you to feel safe, supported, and understood. Therapy is a journey, and this first session is just the beginning.
Together, we’ll start the process of healing, growth, and positive change, setting you on a path toward lasting well-being.
Let’s take the first step—when you’re ready, I’m here to help.
