What to Expect
Starting therapy is a significant step toward healing and personal growth, and we’re here to make the process as comfortable and welcoming as possible.
​
Here’s what you can expect...

1
Initial Contact
Once you reach out, our team will guide you through scheduling your first appointment. During this time, we’ll answer any questions, discuss fees and insurance options, and provide details about what to bring to your first session.
2
First Session
Your first session, also known as, the intake session, is an opportunity for us to get to know you. We’ll discuss your history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This session is about creating a safe space where you feel heard and understood.
3
Goal Setting
Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals. This plan will be tailored to your unique needs and may include specific therapeutic approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, or talk therapy.
4
Ongoing Sessions
In subsequent sessions, we’ll dive deeper into the challenges you’re facing. Therapy is a collaborative process, so we’ll work together to explore feelings, identify patterns, and develop strategies to promote growth and resilience.
5
Safe and Supportive Environment
You can expect a judgment-free zone where your thoughts and emotions are valued. Our therapists prioritize building a strong, trusting relationship to ensure you feel comfortable throughout your journey.
6
Progress and Adjustments
As you grow and evolve, we’ll regularly review your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process; it’s a dynamic partnership designed to support your changing needs.

Confidentiality
Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. All sessions are confidential, and we adhere to strict ethical standards to protect your information.
