Initial Appointments

During your first appointment, you and your therapist will review the confidentiality agreement and practice policies. This session will also allow your therapist to understand what are the current presenting issues bringing you to therapy. Your therapist may also inquire about your family history, prior mental health diagnoses, relationships at work and with friends, just to name some.

While we do offer Single-Session Therapy, in many cases, more than one session is necessary to have a better understanding of the patient’s background history.

Goal Setting

Psychotherapy tends to follow a collaborative approach, hence you and your therapist will identify goals you want to work towards throughout treatment.

Therapy can be hard work— and that’s okay!

It’s important to keep in mind that sometimes, as a result of the process involved in psychotherapy, you may experience anger, sadness and distress. This is not an indication that treatment is not working. On the contrary, it can be a sign that you and your therapist are addressing feelings, memories, situations that need to be processed in order to achieve the identified goals.

Talk with your therapist about this if you have concerns.

This varies from case to case.

While some patients may experience symptom reduction after one session, others may need weeks, months or years to achieve their treatment goals.

The psychotherapy approach that is implemented, the patient’s diagnosis and the patient’s commitment to treatment are some of the key components that can impact the longevity of psychotherapy.

The best way to see results is to start.
