No couch, no clipboard. Fifty minutes, two chairs and three questions we nearly always ask.
No couch, no clipboard. Fifty minutes, two chairs and three questions we nearly always ask. This is the version we give people on the phone before they book.
Nothing has to be decided today
A first conversation is a chance to see how it feels to talk to us. You do not need a diagnosis, a plan or the right words. Most people start with “I am not sure why I am here”.
Small and regular beats big and rare
Change in therapy mostly comes from showing up weekly for a while. An ordinary session where you say one true thing is worth more than a dramatic one you cannot repeat.
You are allowed to ask
Ask how long it might take, what it costs and what happens if it is not working. A good therapist will answer plainly, and will tell you if someone else would be a better fit.
