I’ve compiled a list of the most frequent questions that I have received over my career. It’s perfectly normal and encouraged for you to ask many questions when choosing to work with a licensed Mental Health Service Provider. Here are some answers to the questions I receive the most.

​
What can I expect at my first visit?
During your first visit I will gather information regarding your struggles and the problems that bring you to seek support. This requires me to ask questions that to you may seem irrelevant, (I hope you can trust I have purpose for asking these questions to benefit your treatment). Together we will create goals tailored to your needs. This will wrap up your initial visit.
