On your First Appointment: 

We will gather information to understand your needs and the reason you schedule an appointment.  

• Be open and honest, but feel free to share what you are comfortable with at the time.
• Come to sessions with a general idea of what you want to address in therapy.
• It’s okay to ask questions.
• Assert your own opinions and let your counselor know when you disagree. You are the expert of your own life.

Some general questions to ask:  

• Has the counselor worked with people who have similar problems or goals as yourself?
• How will you and your counselor work together to confront your issue and set goals?
• How much education and professional experience do you have?
• How often will the two of you meet?
• What kind of process does the professional use and what kind of improvements can you expect?

What had changed since the pandemic? 

• All service changes remote working. We are seeing clients using telehealth.
• We sanitize our office regularly to keep our staff and community safe.
• We prescribe your medication electronically and save you a trip to our office.
• We provide virtual workshops, so you and other community members continue receiving community resources and wellness education.
