Our first session will be 80 minutes long so we can become acquainted, address the process of our work, review your intake forms (please complete these and bring them with you to our first meeting), and identify your goals for therapy. There will also be time for you to begin to elaborate on the reasons you’ve come for therapy. Thereafter, we will meet weekly for 50 minutes. During our sessions I may introduce and use a variety of tools and models to help us move forward in this process.
The time we spend together is significant and I hold what you share confidentially and with respect. It is very important that we both feel comfortable with each other if we are to discuss the deeper aspects of your life. Because of this, I find that we can use the first few sessions to discern if this is a good fit. If it is not for any reason, I will be happy to refer you to another therapist or professional who may be better suited to your needs or situation.
