Frequently asked questions

What will our first session look like?

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll discuss what feels most important to address and make room for questions about the process.

You don’t need to arrive with a clear explanation of how everything fits together. Read more about individual therapy.
