Not at first. Our initial appointment is an opportunity to get to know each other better. You will have the chance to tell me about what concerns you and what you would like to work on in therapy. You will also be getting a chance to get a sense of my style of work which tends to be pretty easy going. We will both get a sense of if I am the best person for you to work with or not. In most cases, we then schedule regular appointments a start to work together. If either of us thinks for any reason that I might not be the best person for you to work with, then I am more than happy to provide you with the names of people who I think might be a better fit for you. You can schedule your first appointment by calling me at 212-242-2219 or emailing me at elimayerpsyd@gmail.com .
