What to Expect
During the initial phone consultation, we will establish what you are looking for out of therapy and what type of service is the right fit for you. If we are both in agreement about next steps, we will schedule our first session at this time.
The focus of the first session is geared around information gathering to better allow us to understand your personal circumstances. By the second session, clearly defined goals and a treatment plan will be developed collaboratively. The treatment plan will lay out the pathway to achieving your goals. Therapy will typically end when your goals have been met; we will begin to prepare for termination in advance.
If opting to complete a single session, we will establish appropriateness of goals for this process during the phone consultation. An intake questionnaire will be sent to you for completion prior to the session.
