If we determine we can help you, we will schedule an in-take appointment. During this initial session a therapist will evaluate you, asking about your background and why you are seeking treatment. This is the occasion upon which you can begin to establish a harmonious working relationship with the therapist. Any questions you need answered about our service, including privacy practices, can be responded to by the therapist at this session.
The first session is a collaborative effort by both participants to determine the best treatment plan. If it is decided the therapist assigned to you is a good fit, we will set up a regularly scheduled appointment (usually on a weekly basis), according to the availability of both participants. Therapy sessions normally run about one hour. The second session with the therapist is about goal-setting and what are your expectations of therapy, if any. From this second session forward, you and the therapist will work to achieve the best outcome for your mental health and / or personal growth issues.
