to meet your goals.
Initial Contact
Before you make an appointment, I like to have a brief phone contact. I'll ask you to very briefly tell me the nature of the problem for which you're seeking assistance. I also ask if you have any questions for or about me.
In our first meeting I'll ask you to share why you're seeking help now and whatever you think is important for me to know. If you want guidance, I will ask questions to help you. In the first meeting, time permitting, I plan to ask:
-
how the challenge is affecting you emotionally and physically
-
how long you've been affected by it
-
who is supportive of you
-
if spirituality or religion is important to you and if it is a positive influence
-
what you do for fitness, relaxation, fun, socially
-
some history about the family in which you were raised
I ask what your goals are for therapy. At the end of the session, I'll give you feedback on how I envision us proceeding, and I ask for your feedback. Sometimes more than one session is necessary to gather all the initial information.
