Your first visit.
Your first appointment can feel overwhelming and scary. It is normal to feel a wide range of emotions about taking the first step towards change. However, working with the right therapist will help you confront these feelings and bring positive change to your life.
During your first visit, your therapist will get to know you, assess your current symptoms and explore your strengths. This is typically referred to as an initial intake assessment. Your therapist will also work with you during the first session(s) to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to the goals you hope to reach. Appointments typically last 50 minutes. Please bring your insurance card, driver's license/identification card and a list of any medications you take to your first appointment.
