In your first session, your therapist will typically ask questions to understand your background, current issues, and goals for therapy. This is a chance for you to get to know your therapist and discuss any concerns you have about the process. It sets the foundation for a collaborative and effective therapeutic relationship.

Choosing the right therapist involves considering their qualifications, experience, and areas of specialization. It’s important to feel comfortable and understood by your therapist, so don’t hesitate to ask questions about their approach and experience. Many people find it helpful to have an initial consultation with a few therapists before making a decision.

The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual's needs and the nature of the issues being addressed. Some people may find significant improvement in a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy. It’s important to discuss your expectations and goals with your therapist, who can provide a more tailored estimate./p>
