Therapy Services

What to expect when beginning therapy: At the first visit, you will likely go through what is bringing you into counseling with your therapist. Your clinician will ask questions to get to know you in order to best tailor treatment to your specific needs. Feel free to ask questions about the process if you have any. Therapy is driven forward through the relationship between client and therapist and it is important to your therapist that you feel safe to discuss any questions you may have.
