What to Expect
Intake
We gather a comprehensive picture of your life, history, and current challenges. From there, our initial sessions will focus on three key areas: understanding, exploration, and direction.
Session 1:
Understanding your story
We start by deepening our understanding of your presenting concerns, mental health history, and life context.
We will explore not only the challenges you face, but also how you find meaning in them. This helps clarify the patterns and experiences that shape your current struggles.
Session 2:
Inner experience
Now that the foundation has been laid in the intake and session one, we begin to explore the deeper layers of your inner world—your values, patterns, and the unconscious influences that may be shaping your behaviors and emotions.
This session often involves reflection and curiosity about dreams, symbols, or recurring themes in your life.
Session 3:
Clarify direction, build skills
Here, we focus on how you relate to your thoughts and feelings, introducing strategies that help you create space from difficult experiences while moving toward what matters most in your life.
By the end of the third session, you can expect to have a clearer understanding of your struggles, greater insight into your inner world, and strategies to guide your path toward healing.
Next steps
Following the third session, the therapist and client will review progress and goals to determine next steps, including whether additional sessions are recommended.
