What to expect in a first visit:

Many first-time clients wonder what to expect during our time together and may have anxiety around their first visit. Like any counseling session, the first visit is 50 minutes long. During that time, I’ll begin the process of gathering background information about you, your family, and current situation. I will want to hear from each individual in the room (if you come with your partner and/or family members) what they feel the problem is. This will help us create a plan and goal for treatment.

Some of our time together in the first session will be spent reviewing the parameters of our relationship and your rights to privacy as detailed in the Informed Consent. Any questions you have about therapy, the process, my background and training can also be addressed during the first visit.

Please call (805) 565-6057 to schedule your first appointment.
