• Your first visit

  The first session is dedicated to developing a shared understanding of your difficulties and therapy goals. You'll be invited to share your story, and your psychologist will ask questions about your history and other relevant context to help create a tailored treatment plan. Together, you and your psychologist will decide on the best therapy approach for you, which paves the way for more active therapy in subsequent sessions. You can choose to disclose as much or as little as you wish, and the psychologist will work to make you as comfortable as possible. It will be a good opportunity to determine if the psychologist and client are a good fit.
