What to expect

The therapeutic relationship is built on mutual respect and communication. The beginning is an  important time of building the foundation for the counseling relationship, establishing goals, and collaboratively determining the best way to move forward.

With adults, the initial session will primarily consist of completing and discussing paperwork, and the next few sessions will allow for you and your counselor to get to know one another before delving into the deeper issues. This period of time also allows for you to determine if you feel comfortable and safe, and to ask any questions you may have about the process.

With children, the first session will consist of speaking with the parent or parents regarding paperwork, discussing confidentiality with the child (this is a safe place), and starting the process of developing rapport with the child. 

Fees 

Counseling fees are equal to the current industry standards based on experience, education and licensing qualifications. Initial phone consultations are free.
