What to Expect in Therapy
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but our counselors create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and honestly. Your first session is a consultation to understand your goals, history, and what brings you in. Together, you and your therapist will co-create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes and may be weekly or biweekly depending on your goals. Many clients begin to feel meaningful relief within just a few sessions, though the depth of growth available in ongoing therapy is profound.
