Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in the initial consultation?

The initial consultation your chance to get to know your therapist and ask questions about their expertise, what sessions will look like together and determine whether you both feel that the relationship is the "right fit".  We encourage you to ask your therapist more about how they work and ensure that their availability fits with your needs. 


 


Your therapist may ask you questions like:

  • “Do you have any previous experiences with therapy?” 
  • "What are some goals you'd like to work on?"
  • “How will we know if therapy is successful?”

This is your chance to connect before a first session, so don't be afraid to be yourself.

If it doesn't feel right, our team is here to guide you through finding the right match.
