Typically, during the first therapy session, your clinician will complete a comprehensive assessment to better understand your concerns and gather important information. The therapist will ask questions to understand your background and current symptoms and life stressors. If needed, your therapist may provide referrals for consultations with other professionals, such as doctors, psychiatrists, or psychologists.

The first session is an opportunity for you and your therapist to get to know each other and for you to ask your therapist questions about the therapeutic process.

You can expect a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges with the support of a trained therapist. The process is collaborative and tailored to your specific needs, with a focus on self-awareness, emotional processing, and developing coping strategies. Therapy helps you gain insight into your behavior, relationships, and patterns while providing tools to manage issues like anxiety, depression, or stress. Progress may be gradual, with both breakthroughs and setbacks, but over time, you’ll work toward personal growth, improved mental health, and achieving the goals you set with your therapist.
