My journey to mental healthcare

This is a collaborative approach, driven by your treatment hopes and diagnostic symptoms.
My first session with you
In the first session, I will listen to develop a sense of whom you are while creating space for you to share what has brought you to therapy and the impact of this in your life presently. I will ask questions about your thoughts, feelings, environment, support system, family, and your desired outcome of therapy. I will provide a roadmap of therapy and provide you with an opportunity to ask questions about the therapy process. At the conclusion of this session, we will gather if we might work well together and develop a plan to move forward.
