Anita has truly been a blessing to me! She actually cares about her clients and goes above and beyond what’s required of her to ensure her clients safety and well being. She listens to everything I say and gives great advice when needed. She gave me back the confidence I lost and I will forever be grateful for that.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What to expect in the first session

    A first counseling session is usually about getting oriented, building comfort, and setting a foundation. While every therapist has their own style, here’s what you can generally expect:

    1. Introductions & Logistics

    • The therapist will explain confidentiality, its limits (e.g., safety concerns), and their role.

    • You may review paperwork, consent forms, fees, scheduling, and cancellation policies.

    • They’ll explain how sessions typically work and answer any questions you have.

    2. Your Reason for Coming

    • You’ll be invited to share what brought you to counseling—this can be brief or detailed.

    • There’s no “right” way to explain things. You can say you’re unsure or just want help sorting things out.

    • The therapist may ask open-ended questions to understand your concerns.

    3. Background Questions

    • Expect some questions about:

      • Current stressors, mood, relationships, work/school

      • Past counseling or mental health history

      • Physical health, sleep, substances, or medications (if relevant)

    • You can always say if a question feels too personal and come back to it later.

    4. Goals & Hopes

    • You may discuss what you’d like to change, understand, or improve.

    • Goals don’t have to be clear yet—many people figure them out over time.

    5. How the Therapist Works

    • The therapist may describe their approach (e.g., talk therapy, skills-based, trauma-informed).

    • You can ask how they typically help with issues similar to yours.

    6. Emotional Experience

    • It’s common to feel nervous, relieved, awkward, or emotional—sometimes all at once.

    • You’re not expected to share everything in one session.

    7. Next Steps

     

    • You’ll usually talk about frequency of sessions and what to focus on next time.

    • Some therapists may offer a small reflection or coping strategy, but many focus mainly on assessment in session one.

  • What should I expect during my first therapy session?

    Your first session will involve discussing your goals and getting to know your therapist. It's an opportunity to establish a comfortable and trusting relationship.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    Yes, we accept a variety of insurance plans. Please contact us to verify your coverage.

  • How long are the therapy sessions?

    Typically, therapy sessions last about 50 minutes. However, the duration can be adjusted based on your individual needs.

  • Is therapy confidential?

    Absolutely. Your privacy is our priority, and all sessions are confidential in accordance with professional ethical standards.

  • Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?

    Yes, we are committed to ensuring your satisfaction with our services. If you are not happy with the results, please let us know and we will make it right.
