About
What will happen in the first session?
First sessions focus on the big picture. Be prepared for therapists to ask about the specific problem that inspired you to seek therapy, what you hope to achieve over the course of treatment, a brief sketch of your life story, and any experience you’ve had with therapy in the past. He may also discuss his own therapeutic orientation, summarize what you shared, and provide feedback on the issues you shared.
