What to Expect in Your First Few Sessions
In the first session, your therapist will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. You’ll be asked some basic questions about your current challenges, past experiences, and key aspects of your life and identity. This helps your therapist learn what’s most important to you and what you hope to achieve.
By the second or third session, you’ll work together to create a personalized plan outlining the goals or topics you’d like to focus on in therapy. This plan serves as a guide for your journey, helping you track progress and stay focused on what matters most to you.

How to Get the Most Out of Therapy
Therapy works best when you actively participate and allow yourself to be open and vulnerable. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about sharing your story at first. The initial sessions are focused on getting to know you, understanding the challenges that brought you in, and creating a personalized treatment plan that outlines your specific goals. After that, therapy shifts into deeper conversations and the kind of work most people imagine when they think of therapy.
Your therapist isn’t there to give you all the answers but to help you explore and discover them for yourself. Along the way, it’s important to talk with your therapist about the growth you’re hoping for and speak up if something isn’t working. This open communication helps shape your sessions and makes them more meaningful.
As you continue, you and your therapist will build a strong therapeutic relationship that supports you on your healing journey.
Insurance and Payment Options
We accept most insurance plans to make therapy more accessible. For those who qualify, a sliding fee scale is available to ensure cost is not a barrier to care. Contact us today to discuss your payment options and find the best solution for you.
