What will our initial session look like and do I need to bring anything?

During our initial session we will determine if I am a good fit for you. I will gather some general information concerning why you are seeking counseling. I will also attempt to give you an overview of my counseling approach and am open to any questions you may have. You do not need to bring any specific documents. In the initial session I will go over the necessary components of beginning counseling such as the limitations of confidentiality and mandated reporting. I will also provide you with the pertinent forms regarding this information. Finally we will address what you wish to achieve by engaging in therapy and figure out where to go from there.
