NEW CLIENT INFORMATION & FORMS

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT DURING OUR FIRST SESSION TOGETHER:

I am very excited about the opportunity to work with you!

If this is your first experience with counseling, I completely undserstand that you may feel a little nervous about what to expect.

First--please know that it is completely NORMAL to be nervous!

Second--know that our first session is a chance for both of us to get to know each other and make sure that I will be the best fit for what you are looking for or need in a counselor. If I am not the best fit...NO WORRIES...I will gladly do my best to help you find another therapist that will best meet your specific needs and desires for counseling.

Finally--during our first session, you can expect us to go over a few specific things:

We will discuss any questions you have regarding the New Client Forms.

We will talk about what has brought you to counseling as well as establish any therapuetic goals that you would like to accomplish during your time working with me. Also, as we talk, you are welcome to ask any questions you may have about the counseling process as well as the general structure and flow of the way I do things so that you can be sure I am the best fit for you.

At the close of our session, you will have an opportunity to schedule your next appointment.
