Your first session, often called an intake or assessment, is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals. This helps me understand your unique situation and develop a personalized treatment plan. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the therapeutic process.

The duration of therapy varies depending on your individual needs, goals, and the nature of your concerns. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer, on going support. We'll regularly assess your progress together and adjust our approach as needed.

Progress in therapy can look different for everyone. Common signs include feeling more equipped to handle challenges, improved relationships, decreased symptoms, and greater self-awareness. We'll regularly check in about your progress and adjust our approach as needed.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in successful therapy. If you feel we're not a good fit, please let me know. I won't take it personally, and I'm happy to provide referrals to other therapists who might better meet your needs.
