​
Is therapy right for me?

Beginning therapy is an individual choice, and one of the greatest choices that one can make genuinely for themselves. There are many reasons why people come to therapy. Sometimes this includes a person who has struggled with self-managing with long-standing psychological issues, such as anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life such as a divorce or work transition, and they haven't had the appropriate coping skills to deal with these changes.  Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy can help empower you to address many different types of issues that you will encounter throughout life. Therapy is right place for any person who is interested and intentional about their own self-growth, being accountable and is looking to make change in their life that can last a lifetime.

What happens during the first session of therapy?
 
In your first session at The Culture of Health,  you and I will first set a baseline of comfortability by building rapport with one another. We will also take a small amount of time to go over a series of forms that are necessary to begin therapy such as intake paperwork, informed consents, policies/procedures, emergency contact forms, etc. We will gather history, explore your view of the issues that you present and together create your ideal therapy session outline.
