The first appointment is 90 minutes long. This is an opportunity for me to hear about your reasons for coming to therapy. I will ask you about different areas of your life so that we can begin to build an understanding of the difficulties you are experiencing, how they developed, any triggers, what keeps the situation going, what is helpful, what you have tried to date, and so on.
Together we will be able to think about your goals and make informed choices about therapeutic approaches.
