Initial Consultation
We typically start with a three-session evaluation to help us get a full picture of your current problems and life situation. These sessions are just as important for you to get to know your therapist and decide if you can work with him or her. He or she should be open and honest, and not defensive when you ask questions. You should have a sense he or she understands your problems and that you can talk freely about your concerns. After the three-session evaluation, we make a recommendation for therapy, if needed. This starts with one-to-one sessions, and may include group therapy later on. We discuss your progress regularly, and our aim is to help you deal with your struggles in a better way than in the past.
