We’re so glad you’ve taken the first step by scheduling your first appointment. Here’s what to expect and how to get the most out of your time with us.

​

Your first session will focus on getting to know you. We’ll review your completed forms, talk through your background, and discuss what you'd like to gain from therapy. We'll also explore how to make your sessions as helpful and productive as possible.

​

Think of this session as a two-way introduction. It’s a space for you to be open about what you’re looking for and to ask any questions you may have. Our role is to support and guide you toward your goals—honesty and openness help us do that together.

​

This first meeting also helps us determine if we’re the right fit for each other. If it feels like a good match, we’ll schedule your next session based on what works best for you and your therapist. If not, we’re happy to provide referrals to another therapist or agency that may be a better fit for your needs.

We're here to support you, and we're honored to be part of your journey.

​Everyone comes to therapy with different goals—and different timelines. Some people are looking for short-term support and hope to find resolution in just a few sessions. If that sounds like you, let us know. We can tailor our approach to focus on practical, solution-oriented strategies that align with that goal. That said, not every challenge can be worked through in a set number of sessions. Some issues take more time, care, and reflection.

​

On average, people engage in therapy for about 6 to 12 months—but that’s just a general guideline. Your therapy journey is yours alone, and we’ll work with you to find a pace and approach that fits your unique needs.

​

 

 

​Therapy is a personal journey—and sometimes, it can feel like things get harder before they get better.

That’s completely normal. Change is challenging, especially when it involves deep emotional work. As you grow, it might feel uncomfortable—not just for you, but sometimes for the people around you as well. You’re becoming a new version of yourself, and that takes courage. Stick with it—you’re doing important work.

​

Therapy is most powerful when you actively use the tools and insights you're gaining in your everyday life. Practicing these skills where it matters most is where real transformation begins.
