Starting counseling can feel like a big step, especially if it’s your first time. Our therapists aim to make the experience as comfortable and meaningful as possible.

In your first few sessions, your therapist will get to know you—your background, concerns, and what brings you to therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to share at your own pace in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Together, you and your counselor will explore your goals for therapy and create a plan that’s tailored to your unique needs.

Sessions typically last 50 minutes and are focused on helping you better understand yourself, work through challenges, and build practical tools to support your mental and emotional well-being. Some sessions might involve talking through current struggles, while others might include learning coping strategies, processing past experiences, or exploring patterns in your thoughts and behaviors.

Most importantly, individual counseling is a collaborative process. Your therapist is there to support you, offer guidance, and walk alongside you as you work toward growth and healing.
