What to Expect

What is the first appointment like?

The first appointment is 75-90 minutes which allows us to talk through why you are wanting to start counseling and start to explore your story. I ask for all paperwork to be completed prior to the first session. By doing so, we can get started right away.

How often should I see my therapist?

How often we meet depends on your needs in counseling.  Some clients come weekly and others every other week at the beginning.

What do we work on during sessions?

Each client will be working on their own specific needs. During counseling, you will have time to reflect and share how things are going. Then, you can work on your needs for healing and moving forward.

How will I know when I’m done with counseling?

How long each client stays in counseling is unique to them. For some, it may be months. But, for others, it could be years. When you feel that you have the tools to successfully manage your life and are moving forward then that is a good time for us to discuss completing your therapy.
