Knowing it takes courage and commitment to attend the first therapy session, the initial conversation between you and the therapist is casual and non-confrontational. You will talk about the history of your concerns, your previous attempts at addressing them as well as how you and the therapist will actively collaborate.
Your information and sessions are held in strict confidence. A release of information to confer with others or send information to others is required from you except in the event that you are a danger to self or other. Details surrounding the laws of confidentiality (HIPAA) are provided in written form prior to meeting with the therapist.
Engaging in therapy demands a commitment of time and finances, but most importantly, it demands a commitment to work hard together.
