5. What to Expect
What happens in the first session?In our first session, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and how we can work together. It’s a time to get to know each other and ensure you feel comfortable.
How long will I need therapy?This depends on your goals and the challenges you’re working through. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy focused on specific issues, while others choose ongoing support for deeper healing and growth.
How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?The best way to know is to schedule an initial session. I encourage open communication, so if it doesn’t feel like the right fit, I’ll help you find another therapist who may be better suited to your needs.
