What to expect
Starting therapy can be a big decision and we hope to make the process easy for you.
After scheduling your initial appointment, your counselor will provide you with initial paperwork including some information about you and consents to treatment. At the beginning of the session, the counselor will usually go over office policies (cancellation policy, confidentiality, etc.) and answer any questions you might have about the paperwork and process. Although this all takes time, these steps are an important part of starting counseling.
In the initial appointment, your counselor will ask questions about your reasons for seeking therapy as well as questions about you. This is often followed by a series of questions designed to better understand your life story as it relates to the present issues with which you are struggling. It will likely take more than just the initial appointment to complete this history, but the counselor uses this information to come up with a treatment plan tailored to your particular life and situation.
In the last few minutes of the session, the counselor usually summarizes their understanding of what you have shared and reviews any agreements you may have made together. The counselor will probably ask you again how you feel after the first session and you may decide on a schedule for regular appointments at this time if the relationship seems like it is a good fit. You will work together to develop a treatment plan and goals, as well as the frequency of services.
