What to Expect

Therapy typically involves a structured conversation between you and your therapist to address your concerns, improve your mental well-being, and enhance your overall quality of life. Here's what you can generally expect to happen in therapy:

​

1. Assessment and Goal Setting: I'll ask questions to understand your background, current struggles, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we'll set specific goals for our journey ahead.

2. Exploration and Insight: Through our conversations, I'll help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, providing insights into any patterns or triggers contributing to your challenges.

3. Skill Building: I may teach you coping strategies, relaxation techniques, communication skills, or other tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships.

4. Processing Emotions: Therapy offers a safe space to express and process difficult emotions such as grief, anger, or sadness. I'll support you in understanding and managing these feelings constructively.

5. Behavioral Change: We'll work on identifying and replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthier alternatives. I suggest behavior modification techniques to help you make positive changes in your life.

6. Reflection and Feedback: Throughout our sessions, I'll provide feedback, offer perspectives, and encourage self-reflection to deepen your understanding of yourself and your experiences.

7. Support and Encouragement: I'll offer empathy, validation, and encouragement as you navigate challenges and celebrate successes, fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship.

8. Progress Evaluation: We'll periodically assess your progress toward our goals and adjust our strategies to ensure we're moving in the right direction.
