Each session is 50-60 minutes in length. During the first visit, we will discuss important paperwork related to your rights and responsibilities, consent, practice policies, and confidentiality. I will also offer you the opportunity to ask any questions about the therapeutic process, including any expectations you have for me.
Thereafter, I will inquire about the reason for your visit. I will gather background information on you, your family, your relationships, and the goals you have for therapy. Sometimes it can take 2-3 sessions to fully gather this information. Do not feel rushed to tell me everything during the first session.
Sessions after the first visit continue to be 50-60 minutes in length. If you wish to have a longer session, please discuss this with me in advance.
