Each session is 50 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 minutes in length. If you wish to have a longer session, please discuss this with me in advance.
