Your first session will typically involve an initial assessment where you can discuss your concerns and background with your therapist. We'll work together to understand your goals for therapy and develop a personalized treatment plan. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and become familiar with the therapeutic process.

What is the difference between counseling and therapy?
