Your first session
Fifty minutes, and nothing you have to prepare.
Step 1: Before you come
You write through the form on this site. I reply on weekdays, we find a time, and I send you the practice's own forms to read at your own pace.
Step 2: The first minutes
We start with what brought you to look for a therapist, in your own words. You do not need to have it organized.
Step 3: What we cover
What is hard right now, what you want from therapy, and how I work. I explain how confidentiality works and its limits, and how fees and cancellation work.
Step 4: Before you leave
We decide together whether it is a fit and how often to meet. I explain the risks and limits of therapy, and you can ask anything.
Step 5: After
You get a reminder for your next session. If it was not the right fit, I will help you find someone who is.
About the first session
Do I need to bring anything?
No. If you have records or a past evaluation and want to share them, you can, but you do not have to.
Will you ask for my history?
Only what you want to share. We go at your pace, and you can leave a question for later.
Can I bring someone with me?
Tell me when you write. Therapy here is one to one, so we would talk first about how that would work.
Ready to book?
Tell me how to reach you. I reply on weekdays.
