Your First Therapy Session
If you have decided to begin, it is normal to wonder what the first session will actually be like.
Getting started
The first session usually focuses on what brought you in, what you hope to understand, and some background about your life. You do not need a perfectly organized story.
Questions go both ways
Rebecca will ask questions, and you are welcome to ask yours. Clarifying how sessions work, how often you will meet, and how you can give feedback is a good use of time.
