Process and Expectations

The first interview consists of an initial consultation to discuss potential client's personal and family history and background, and to get an idea of issues client would like to work on in therapy. The first session is a time for both client and therapist to decide if we feel comfortable working together, as the therapeutic relationship and fit are extremely important. The second session would be the time when client and therapist would discuss treatment goals in more depth. Throughout the process, the client and therapist will discuss what seems to be working in the therapy and what doesn't, and to make changes accordingly. The length of treatment is up to the client and varies enormously based upon the treatment goals established.
