Here is what to expect at your first appointment:

· We ask you to come 10 min. before to complete intake paperwork with your insurance card
· We chat a little about the expectations of engaging in services such as cancelation policy, confidentiality and limits of confidentiality.
· Life overview: question about your family, social life, work/education, strengths & stressors-just getting to know you.
· We explore your areas of concern and what brought you into therapy.
· Together we establish goals and areas you wish to work on during sessions

Things to remember:
· We are just people! We have personalities and a sense of humor (*as appropriate).
· We are simply here to help- never judge.
· If for whatever reason you don’t feel like we connect- that’s fine! It’s completely your right to “try out” someone else you might connect better with.
· We believe connecting with your therapist is very important and can even help with referrals. No hard feelings.
