An overview of therapy sessions:
Intake Paperwork: As soon as you schedule your first appointment, you will receive intake forms through SimplePractice to fill out before our first session.
First Therapy Session – Assessment and Goal Setting
This is an opportunity for us to get acquainted and connect. I will also ask follow up questions from your intake paperwork to assess and to better understand your concerns and goals in therapy.
Therapy Sessions
Therapy sessions are 50-55 minutes. During this time, we’ll do a brief check in, review progress toward goals, explore new psychoeducational topics and materials, and set new objectives for next session. Also, clients are often given assignments to practice specific techniques that support their treatment goals.
Frequency of Therapy Sessions
Many clients begin with weekly sessions and gradually move to biweekly or monthly sessions as they make progress toward their treatment goals and build new skills. Those who consistently attend sessions and apply the techniques they learn between sessions tend to experience the most significant changes.
