Overall, you can think of the first session as a free-flowing conversation. I’ll invite you to share more about yourself and we can also talk about what’s worked or not worked for your mental health in the past.
Some questions that I like to ask during a first session include:
What brought you to therapy?
Have you gone to therapy before? How did that go?
What do I need to know about you to understand your current challenges?
You can ask me questions as well. You might be curious about my training or what sessions will be like.
The most important part of a first session is to notice how you feel during and after the session. If you feel supported, seen, and at ease with me, we can discuss if you’d like to meet again.

If you are unable to attend an appointment, at least 24 hours advance notice is requested. Since this time can no longer be used for another client, please note that you will be invoiced for 60% of the cost of your scheduled appointment if 24 hours’ notice is not given. For a scheduled appointment that is completely missed, you will be invoiced for the full session fee.
