What can I expect in my first session?

Your first session is a little bit longer than a typical session. It’s 90 minutes. In that time, you’re getting to know me, and I’m getting to know you, understanding your story a little bit more, what’s brought you to this point of needing therapy. I ask a lot about your family history, about your relationship history, if we’re doing couples counseling. If we’re doing family counseling, again, understand the different generations that are in the room. It’s really an interview more than anything. You’ll feel like you’re telling your whole entire life story in that first session, but it gives me a baseline of where we’re going to start from.
