In your first session, we'll get to know one another. I will learn about your history, and we will talk about your challenges and symptoms. This is an opportunity to speak openly about what is bothering you and clarify any doubts about therapy. Subsequent sessions will involve creating a safe, trusted relationship focusing on your core issues and collaborating on a treatment plan.
