Initial Therapy Session for Adults.
The first session (intake) is a crucial part of the therapeutic process. This meeting allows the therapist to gather essential information, establish a connection, and set the stage for future sessions. There will be an introduction to the therapeutic process, including confidentiality, session structure, and goals. Also, questions about your daily life, routine, habits, activities, relationships, and school/work life balance with be processed.
Initial Therapy Session for Children
The first session will be with just the parents to learn areas of concern, review and discuss former assessments, and have questions answered. After that, half of the session will be designated for the child, and the other half will be for parent training, following a similar structure as mentioned above. However, each child is unique in their needs, and will be discussed during the initial (intake) session.
Therapy sessions last between 45-55 minutes.
I offer both in-person and in-home sessions (location-specific to NY and surrounding my general office location). Telehealth sessions are also available.
