What to expect
What will my first session be like?
Your first session will focus on what brought you in to therapy, but it will also delve into what experiences and relationships you have up to this point in your life that may either contribute to, or offer ideas for healing from the current challenges you are facing. This appointment is different from the rest of our sessions, because gathering that background information is central to our first meeting. Since I want to get to know you, this appointment might be a little longer than your future appointments.
How long will it take for me to feel better?
Many things can influence our mental and emotional wellness, so the length of time we spend in therapy varies. Many clients share that they feel a bit better after one or two sessions. For others, it may take a while to see the benefits of a therapeutic relationship. Clients often see many benefits from EMDR and Transforming Touch after as few as 3-6 sessions, but it may take more sessions, depending on the trauma or difficult experiences you have had.
What kind of therapy is right for me?
We will work together to find the best approach for you, whether that is EMDR, traditional talk therapy, or a somatic approach. You may come in with an idea of what therapy you think would work best for you, or maybe another provider recommended a certain kind of therapy. We'll talk more about the benefits and challenges of each option and choose together which feels like the best option for you at this point in your healing journey. I look forward to identifying this with you!
