The first session is not only a time for us to understand your needs but also an opportunity for you to get to know your therapist. If at any time you feel uncertain about our approach or personality, don’t hesitate to ask questions. It's important that you feel comfortable and confident with your therapist to ensure the best outcomes in therapy.

Through consistent therapy, we aim to help you feel better equipped to cope with life’s challenges. By working together, we’ll improve your emotional well-being, shift the way you think and feel about yourself, and help you build lasting strategies to manage your concerns effectively.

Typically, we’ll sit together and talk about your thoughts, feelings, and what’s troubling you. If you find it hard to open up, don’t worry. We’ll work together to help you feel more comfortable and confident in expressing yourself. It’s natural to feel emotional during therapy—sometimes even experiencing tears or anger. These feelings are part of the process, and we are here to support you through them.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to understand your unique situation. We’ll ask you to fill out some forms regarding your physical and emotional health. This helps us get a deeper understanding of your background and current needs. It might take a few sessions for us to fully understand your concerns and to determine the best approach for you. We encourage you to ask any questions during your first session to see if we’re a good fit for your needs. If at any point you don’t feel comfortable, it’s okay to try another therapist. A good connection is vital for effective therapy.

We use a range of effective psychotherapy techniques, tailored to your individual needs. Different techniques work better for different issues, and we often combine approaches for the best results. We’ll consider your specific concerns, preferences, and situation to determine the best therapy style for you.

Yes, in some cases, we may ask you to complete certain activities or "homework" between sessions. These exercises help reinforce what you’ve learned during our time together and support your progress. Over time, this can help you improve your mood, change negative thought patterns, and develop stronger coping skills.
