What to expect when starting therapy

I want to start by reassuring you if you feel nervous, apprehensive, or anxious about your first therapy session, that’s super normal. Starting therapy (especially for the time first time) can be really scary and take a lot of courage. I want to commend you on your steps to even get to this point.

Let's be honest, trying to find a mental health professional who takes your preferred form of payment/insurance, fits with your schedule, and seems like a good fit sucks--especially in the U.S. It's even worse if we already are experiencing some form of stress that is leading us to trying to find a clinician in the first place.
