What should I expect during my first counseling session?

During your first counseling session with Lisa Thomas Family Counseling, you can expect a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express your concerns. Lisa will begin by getting to know you and gathering information such as your personal history, current challenges, and goals for therapy. This initial session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have and ensure that you feel comfortable and understood. Lisa may discuss the counseling process, confidentiality, and the therapeutic approach that will be used. She will actively listen and provide empathetic guidance to help you gain insight, explore emotions, and set the foundation for future sessions. Ultimately, the first counseling session is a collaborative experience designed to establish rapport and create a therapeutic plan tailored to your specific needs.
