The first therapy session can be a source of anxiety for some people. If you are nervous about your first therapy session, that’s normal. Remember that the goal of the first session is for me as your therapist to get to know you. I will do that by asking questions about your life, your background, and what brought you to therapy. We will also discuss your goals regarding what you want to get out of therapy. This will help to focus your sessions and give you perspective on how you want to grow. These goals may need to change over time depending on circumstances, so it’s good practice for us to keep checking in about them as the therapeutic relationship continues.
