What to expect for your first therapy session

Details & Timing

Your first session is 45–55 minutes. Your therapist will get to know you: what brought you in, a bit of your background, and what's going on in your life right now. If you've been through difficult or traumatic experiences, you won't be asked to dive in before you're ready. There's no rush. Building trust takes time, and that's okay.

Preparing For Your Session

You don't need to have it all figured out before you arrive — your therapist will guide the conversation. If it helps, you might reflect on:

  • What's been weighing on me lately?
  • What do I hope feels different after therapy?
  • What's been helping me cope, and what hasn't?

Next Steps & Ongoing Therapy

At the end of your first session, you and your therapist will talk about whether it feels like a good fit. If it does, you'll schedule your next appointment and go from there. One step at a time.

We’ll guide you through every step of the therapy process.

Choosing to start therapy is an important step and we’re here to guide you through every step of your healing journey. Schedule your first appointment today to get started.
