The first session is typically an orientation. You will have paperwork to complete and will meet your therapist who has been assigned to you during your first phone call. A therapy room looks similar to a living room in a home with couches and chairs. Your therapist will ask you a bit about yourselves and why you decided to seek therapy at this time. It’s normal to feel apprehensive during this first session – we have been trained not to tell others about things that are bothering us. But our therapists are trained to help you feel comfortable talking. Talking is the best way to connect and start to feel better about your life.
