Question 1

What can I expect during the first session?

Accepted Answer

During your first session, you will be provided with insight and information on what the counseling process will look like. Your therapist will discuss confidentiality and any limitations to confidentiality, our practice's policies, and your rights and responsibilities.

Your therapist will then guide you through some questions that will provide your therapist with insight on any presenting concerns that brought you to seek counseling. These questions will also help us to assess how those concerns impact you in your world, your safety, and your strengths.

Finally, your therapist will work collaboratively with you to identify and create goals and a plan to address your presenting concerns, mitigate its impact on your world, and instill hope that we will get to a place where you can celebrate healing.

Question 2

Will I receive a diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

We are required by insurance companies to provide a diagnosis in order to submit claims for reimbursement. If you are planning to utilize insurance, you will receive a diagnosis.
