What To Expect With Your First Visit
At your first session, Sherry will gather information about you, such as family history, childhood, education, employment, strengths, limitations etc. She will also be interested to learn about what concerns/goals you have in life. To gain a deeper understanding of your situation, she will ask about your current and past physical and emotional health. The first session is also an opportunity for you to interview Sherry to see if she will be a good match for you.
It might take a few sessions for Sherry to fully understand your situation and concerns, and to determine the best course of action. You need to feel a “connection” with your therapist, so that you are able to build a strong relationship, thus allowing yourself to be open and honest.
