    A: The first session is an opportunity for us to meet face-to-face. At this time, I will provide a comprehensive assessment, which will take into account your personal history, present-day concerns, and what you might be hoping for in the therapeutic process. If you have specific goals for therapy and/or beyond, you can talk about those, too. Together, you’ll address any concerns or questions you have regarding therapy and identify a plan to move forward with. If we both agree to continue working together, therapy will begin during the following session. If, for any reason, you and/or I don't believe that working together is the best fit for you, I’ll provide you with specific referrals based on the comprehensive assessment provided.
