In a first therapy session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy. The therapist will typically ask questions to get to know you better, including your personal history, current challenges, and any goals you hope to achieve through therapy. This session is also a chance for you to ask questions about the therapist’s approach, discuss logistics like session frequency and duration, and establish a comfortable level of trust. While the therapist may not dive deeply into specific issues right away, the session will help lay the groundwork for a therapeutic relationship and create a plan for future sessions. It’s normal to feel a little nervous at first, but remember, the session is meant to be a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a person works one-on-one with a licensed therapist to address personal concerns, emotional difficulties, or mental health challenges. During sessions, the client can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, confidential environment. The therapist helps the individual gain insight into their issues, develop coping skills, and work through challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or stress. The therapy is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals, using various techniques and approaches to promote healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.

*Individual counseling sessions are offered at a rate of $130.00 per hour.
