Before Your Appointment - You’ll be asked to complete a few intake forms that help us understand your background, concerns, and goals for therapy. These forms also explain important information about confidentiality, privacy, and your rights as a client.

What to Expect During Your First Therapy Appointment - Starting therapy is a brave step, and it is okay if you’re feeling uncertain or a bit nervous. Our goal is to make your first visit feel comfortable, supportive, and helpful. Here is what you can generally expect from your first session:

1. A Safe, Confidential Space: Therapy is a safe and confidential space. Everything you say is confidential, with a few legal exceptions that will be explained at the beginning—mostly related to safety. Your therapist’s role is to support and encourage you, not judge. You’re encouraged to ask questions at any point. This is your time, and it’s important you feel comfortable.

2. A Supportive, Judgment-Free Space: Your therapist’s role is to listen, support, and help guide you, not to judge or pressure you. Therapy is a process, and you set the pace. If something feels too soon to talk about, that’s perfectly okay.

3. Getting to Know You: Much of the time with your therapist will be spent just getting to know you—your background, what brings you here, what’s been going on in your life, and what you’re hoping to get from therapy. You don’t need to prepare anything special.

4. Clarifying Goals: We’ll begin identifying goals for therapy based on what’s important to you. These goals can change over time as your needs evolve. They may be something very specific like anxiety, relationships, or grief, or it might be more general, like wanting to feel better or more in control. You do not need to have clear goals right now. That’s something you can explore together with your therapist.

5. It’s Normal to Feel a Range of Emotions: Sometimes the first session brings up relief, tears, or even frustration. All of that is normal. You might not walk away with solutions today but ideally; you will leave with a sense of what therapy can offer and a clearer sense of what’s next.

A Final Note - The first session is really about beginning to build trust. Therapy works best when weare working as a team, and it’s important that you feel seen, heard, and respected. Youdon’t have to go it alone anymore—we’ll take it one step at a time.
