Your First Visit
“I’ve never been to therapy. What can I expect?”
Whether this is your first time in therapy, or first-time walking into our offices, you probably asked yourself this question, and wondering what will happen on your first visit. It is a big step to start therapy, and it can be stressful not knowing what will happen. However, we will support you with each step!
Your first visit is the time our therapists get to know you. Your strengths, your concerns, and what led you to seeking therapy. This is where we help you set goals for your therapeutic journey, and provide you with a non-judgmental welcoming and safe space to share yourself and your story at your pace and comfort.
Equally as important, is you get to know us. We value the relationship between client and therapist as it contributes to the success of treatment. Therefore, we encourage you to ask questions to your therapist to see if they are a good fit for you! We will try to match you with a clinician that will meet your needs, and that is why we would want you to ask questions during your initial session. If you have seen a therapist you specifically want to meet with on Our Teams page, let us know! And feel free to let us know if your assigned therapist is not feeling “right,” as it is our job to make sure you are matched with a clinician who is not only specialized in working with your needs, but also someone you feel comfortable sharing your story with.
If you have any questions, please Contact Us, or check out our FAQ section. We welcome you to Unbroken Family Counseling and look forward to helping your first visit be as comfortable as possible!
