What can I expect in my first session?

In the first session I like to better understand what is bringing you to counseling. I want to learn more about your background and history. I may ask some questions in the first session to better understand what would be most helpful to you and what you would like to gain from our time together. It is also your time to see how you feel talking to me and determine if you want to continue with further sessions.
