Individual Counseling Session

Service Description

Beginning counseling can feel overwhelming and a bit scary. These feelings are to be expected! Sometimes, knowing what to expect can ease some of the nerves. Here's an overview of what you can expect when you work with me in counseling; 1. You'll receive paperwork to complete online that will provide me with some background information before we meet. This will assist me in beginning to understand what brings you into counseling and ways I may be able to help you. 2. During our first session, I'll likely ask you to engage in some art therapy directives. But there's no need to worry if you can draw a line, you can participate in art therapy (Although I do not force anyone to participate in art therapy if they do not want to). During our first session, we'll talk a bit more about what brings you into counseling and what your goals for being in therapy are. 3. At the end of our first session, we'll talk about a schedule for meeting that works for you. 4. Sessions after the initial meeting will focus on your goals for being in therapy. Through this process, it is my hope that you would walk away with tangible tools to help you manage the struggles you face. See the "Modalities" section for more information on the techniques I utilize in counseling sessions. Throughout the counseling process, you are able to direct what types of counseling do and do not work for you. If you come to find that we are not a good match, I am happy to provide a referral to another counselor, if possible. ***Please note that as I am seeking licensure, I am unfortunately unable to accept insurance. However, sliding scale rates are available. Please reach out for more information.
