Initial Session

During our initial session we will discuss the intake documentation completed prior to our first meeting. This usually covers health history, family background, biopsychosocial development, counseling history, social supports, and presenting concerns. After reviewing the intake paperwork we will then review the informed consent documents, ensuring that our counseling policies are clear and that any questions concerning confidentiality or other areas of concern are addressed. The last portion of our session will be spent discussing the clinicians approach to therapy, client counseling goals and their presenting problem that they would like to be addressed during our counseling journey.
