Entering therapy is like stepping into a new chapter of your life, where your story takes center stage. In our first session, we’ll explore your experiences—why you’re here and what you hope to achieve—while reflecting on the positive aspects of your life, from supportive friends to personal joys. We’ll also discuss the Diagnostic Assessment, a transparent evaluation of your symptoms and potential diagnoses, all while ensuring confidentiality and safety. If you’re open to it, we may incorporate art therapy as a way to express your thoughts through imagery, fostering connection as I create alongside you. Ultimately, this session is about creating a safe space where you feel empowered to share your narrative, and where you are in control of your mental health journey.
