What is the Pre-Therapy Consultation For?
The no-cost, pre-therapy, in-person consultation is offered prior to setting up a first session. It is an opportunity for us to talk about:
- Why you're seeking counseling at this particular moment.
- What you hope to get out of counseling.
- What is important to you in a therapist.
- My training and background.
- My approach and how I might address your particular circumstances.
- Logistical and financial information (i.e. fees, scheduling, etc.)
You can get a sense of me to see if I feel like a good fit for you, and I can ensure that I have the skills to address the concerns you wish to resolve. My goals is to make sure all of your questions get answered so that you can make an informed decision about starting therapy with me.
It's best when we can use this time to get straight to the concerns bringing you to therapy and how I can help, so I encourage you to review my Rates & Insurance Policies and FAQs prior to our meeting.
