What should I expect at my first session?
Prior to your first session our friendly staff will help you complete our intake forms and connect to our patient portal. Once you complete these steps your provider will reach out to you with an appointment.Ā
The first session is a time to meet your therapist, discuss your concerns, and set goals for therapy. During this time you will also be able to gauge if the therapist is a good fit. Your therapist is also making this determination.
