What to Expect at Your First Visit

In your first session, our counselor will ask certain questions about you and your life to make an initial assessment of your situation. This information helps us understand your problem better. It's important to keep in mind that counseling is a team effort, so we recommend participating, being open and honest, asking questions, and coming to your first session with realistic expectations. Counseling is not a quick fix for any problem; rather, it is a process.
