WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR FIRST SESSION
The purpose of the first session is for you and your therapist to get to know each other. She will ask you questions to help her understand where you struggle, what your strengths and goals are, and to get to know you. It's important that you answer as honestly as possible. If you have questions for your therapist, this is the perfect time to ask. As you talk to her, think about whether you feel comfortable talking to her and whether she seems familiar enough with your concerns to provide effective direction.
