What Can I Expect During My First Counseling Session?

Taking the first step toward counseling is a courageous act, and we want you to know that you're not alone on this journey. It's natural to feel a mix of emotions; nervousness, hope, uncertainty, as you begin. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected.

At your initial session, you'll meet with the therapist you've been scheduled with. They will have thoughtfully reviewed the intake information you provided, allowing them to understand your background and the reasons you're seeking support. During this session, we will assess if we are a good fit for your goals and invite you to do the same.

Sharing Your Story

This session is an opportunity for us to get to know you better: your experiences, challenges, and aspirations. We understand that opening up can be difficult, and there's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. Your therapist is here to meet you where you are, honoring your pace and boundaries.

Setting Goals Together

Together, you'll discuss what brings you to counseling and explore what you hope to achieve. This collaborative conversation helps determine if our services align with your needs and sets the foundation for a personalized treatment plan. You'll also have the chance to ask questions and address any concerns you might have.

Planning Ahead

By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer understanding of the counseling process and the next steps. Whether it's scheduling future sessions or discussing resources, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Remember, this is your journey, and we're honored to walk alongside you. Our commitment is to provide a nurturing environment where healing and growth can flourish.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with other aspects of your counseling experience, please don't hesitate to reach out.

No. Difference Between Coaching & Counseling...

• Life Coaching is entirely separate from counseling services.

• Coaching services focus on working with you to create and achieve goals for yourself whether it be in your mindset, career, relationship, self-worth or other areas of your life you wish to work on.

• During Coaching sessions we dive deep into areas of your life you wish to improve or change and your mindset behind all of that.

• Coaching emphasizes more creation of what you want in your life and showing up as how you would like to.

• Coaching supports you with navigating limiting beliefs and the desires you have for your life.

• Coaching does NOT treat or diagnose mental health issues that you may be struggling with.

• Coaching services are private pay only and are not covered by insurance.

Coaching and counseling cannot be booked simultaneously with the same provider.
