What you might be wondering
-
It is completely normal to wonder if you will feel comfortable. Sharing personal stories at first can feel overwhelming and uneasy as it can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, and we can go at a pace that works for you. Building trust takes time and we continually focus on our relationship to make you comfortable in sharing that which is important. Always know that you are in control.

This is a popular question when starting therapy as it can be the first time you are telling your story to someone else or even yourself. Therapy is a deeply personal experience and everyone’s path can look and feel different. Some may know right away and others might need a few sessions to see how it feels. Therapy can be helpful if you are looking for support with difficult emotions, patterns you want to change, or just a space to understand yourself better.

Our first meeting is the intake session. Aside from reviewing logistics and policies, it is the first chance to hear from you on what your goals are and what you are looking to be different. We will explore relevant background material and it is an opportunity for me to better understand you. The first session can be new so please feel free to ask questions to make yourself fully informed and feel comfortable.

This is a great question. A good fit can mean so many different things. Fit is a large umbrella term that encompasses many tangible and non-tangible characteristics. I believe it really comes down to how comfortable one is in the room with the therapist and how much they feel understood and how confident they are that the person will be able to help them. Fit also relates to how much you trust the clinician and how empathic and non-judgmental the space feels. The more comfortable you feel, the more likely you are to be motivated and engaged which are the foundations of productive work.
