What to expect in a counseling session:

When you find Suite 209 please come right in, I have a comfortable waiting room when you first walk in and separate inner office where I meet with people individually.  You will find large couches and some magazines to read.  I don’t have a secretary so try and relax and I will be with you at your appointment time.

What happens next?

•  I will try and understand what brought you to see me
•  I may ask questions to understand some of your history and how it relates to what’s happening now
• Try to be open and honest when you answer any questions. I’m not here to judge you. I’m trying to understand your experience.
• Please ask questions if you have them; about the what’s happening or what to expect. I’m happy to repeat anything you don’t understand and this will only make you more comfortable with counseling.
• Remember therapy isn’t a quick fix for all problems. Its is a process, but with a collaborative effort it can be a strong tool for resolving your concerns.
