What to Expect During Our First Session (2024 update)
During our initial session together, we’ll sit, talk, and I’ll take the time to learn all about you. We will discuss many things, including presenting problems, your medical/psychiatric history, and why is treatment necessary now. Your interpersonal history (which may include details on your family, spouse, and others close to you) will also be touched upon, as will your profession, and what you do in your spare time for joy. Finally, we will address what goals you’re seeking through treatment. From there, we will lay out a plan of action.
