Question 6

What can I expect during our first session?

Accepted Answer

My goal is to maintain a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with my patients.  I want my patients to know that each time we meet, I will emphatically listen to all their concerns and focus on their needs. Our meetings are a safe place to let go of the different things in life that are causing a burden.
