What are the first steps to starting therapy?
Initial Consultation
In our first meeting, you and your child will have the opportunity to meet me and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s a chance to see if I’m the right fit for your child’s needs. By the end of this consultation, we’ll decide if we’re a good match and, if so, plan the next steps in the assessment process.
Assessment
During the first 1-2 sessions, I’ll work with you and your child to understand more deeply what led you to seek therapy. We’ll explore how past experiences have influenced your child and identify the changes you hope to see. This process ensures that we’re aligned and ready to work together on your child’s goals. We’ll set specific goals for therapy and plan how to achieve them.
Therapy
After the assessment, we’ll have regular sessions focused on achieving the goals we’ve set. Therapy is a way to help your child feel better and engage more fully with life.
