About First Session

Frequently asked therapy questions

What happens during a free consultation with a therapist?

During a free consultation, you'll have a brief chat with a potential therapist to see if you click. It's like a mini-meeting where you share what's on your mind, your goals for therapy, and get a feel for the therapist's style and approach. They'll also explain how they work, what you can expect from sessions, and answer any questions you might have. It's a no-pressure way to explore if you two are a good match.

How long is a free consultation? Is it online or over the phone?

Free consultations typically last about 15 minutes and are conducted on the same platform you'd use for regular sessions (for example, online consultations will happen online).

Are there any specific questions I should ask during a free consultation?

Some questions can include:

     - What is your experience or training with my specific issues or concerns?

     - What approach or techniques do you use in therapy sessions?

     - What is your policy around scheduling appointments, cancellations, and fees?

     - Anything else I should know about you as a person or as a therapist?

What should I be ready to talk about during the consultation?

Get ready to touch on why you're seeking therapy and what you're aiming to accomplish. Opening up about any important personal background or current struggles will give the therapist a clearer picture of what you need. This chat helps them tailor their approach to suit you best, setting the stage for a productive therapy journey.

Can I schedule free consultations with multiple therapists?

Scheduling free consultations with a few therapists to compare is an accepted practice. It’s all about finding the best fit for you, and therapists understand this. Think of it as doing your homework to ensure you’re making the best choice for your mental health journey. 

How will I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?

In a free consultation, you'll sense if a therapist is right for you by how comfortable you feel talking with them. Notice if they listen well, understand your needs, and their approach resonates with you. It's about gut feeling as much as it is about their expertise and how they propose to help. Also, consider if their availability, cost, and communication style align with what works for you.

What are the next steps if I want to start full-length therapy sessions?

If you're feeling good after your free consultation and you're ready to dive into regular sessions, just let the therapist know you'd like to start. Together, you'll discuss and agree on the frequency of sessions, set up a schedule, go over payment details, and any other logistics.

What happens if I decide not to continue with a therapist after the free consultation?

If you decide not to move forward, that's totally fine. Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and it's important to find the right match. Remember, you're not committed to anything just by having a free consultation. It's all about what feels right for you.
