During the first session, I will conduct an initial assessment. This will be the first opportunity for both parties (therapist and client) to get a sense if we will be the right therapeutic fit for one another.  You will have the opportunity to outline the challenges you currently face, ask questions about the process, and decide if you feel you are ready to engage. You can check if you feel comfortable with the way I work and I will consider how I am able to meet your needs.
