Individual Therapy FAQs

If I’ve never been to therapy before, what should I expect?

For the first session, your therapist will want to get to know you and your history a bit more. They’ll ask you questions about all aspects of your life, without going into too much detail at first. This will help them get to know you better as well as help you confirm whether or not your therapist is a good fit for you. After this first session, you’ll be able to talk further and dive deeper into the reasons why you were seeking therapy in the first place.

I feel anxious about starting therapy. What can I do?

Therapy can seem really intimidating at first if you’ve never been before! You might worry about what to say, or how it will work overall. Your relationship with your therapist is just that, a relationship. It might be different than other relationships you have in your life but you’ll be able to talk with your therapist, share with them, and connect with them in a comfortable way. If it will make you feel more at ease, you can always start by letting your therapist know you’re feeling anxious about therapy overall. Typically, they’ll be able to help you feel better about starting therapy within a few minutes.

How often do I schedule appointments?

In most cases, you will be scheduled to start working with your therapist on a weekly basis. This allows the relationship between you and your therapist to stregthen as well as a solid treatment plan be put into place. If you start feeling better, you can always drop down to a bi-weekly schedule. Of course, there are always exceptions and if this doesn’t work for you, make sure to let us know!
