The first step is simple— call our office to schedule your initial appointment. Our friendly team will guide you through the process, answer any questions you may have about therapy, fees, or what to expect, and help you find a time that works for your schedule.

Understanding Your Needs
During your first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other. This consultation is an opportunity for you to share the challenges you're facing, your goals for therapy, and any other relevant information that can help us create a plan that works for you. Whether you're struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, anxiety, or something else, this session is about setting a foundation for the work we’ll do together.

Setting Goals and Creating a Plan
Once we’ve discussed your concerns, we’ll work together to set clear goals for therapy. These goals guide our work and give you a roadmap for what we’ll address together. This plan will be personalized to your needs, whether that’s improving communication, gaining emotional insight, reducing anxiety, or navigating complex relationship dynamics.

Exploring and Growing
Therapy is a process, and each session will build upon the last. You’ll have the chance to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive and nonjudgmental space. Over time, you’ll develop new insights, gain coping skills, and work towards achieving your goals.

Reflection and Adjusting the Plan
As therapy progresses, we’ll check in regularly about how you’re feeling and whether the approach we’re using is working for you. Therapy is a flexible process, and we’ll adjust your plan as needed to make sure it’s as effective as possible.
