Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to wonder what the process will look like. Here’s what to expect:

• Before your first session: You’ll receive intake paperwork via email (check spam folder if you don't see it).  If you’re using insurance, please complete this at least two business days before your first session.
  
  

• First session: Your initial session will last 50–55 minutes. For clients using insurance, we’ll also spend time gathering your personal history—understanding what’s been happening in your life, how it shows up for you now, and what you hope to get from therapy. If you’re meeting online, you’ll receive a telehealth link about ten minutes before your appointment, and you may need to download an app to connect.
  
  

• Collaborative planning: Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that reflects your goals and objectives. We’ll discuss the frequency of sessions to find a rhythm that works best for you and collaborate on the length of ongoing therapy based on your needs and desires.

• Ongoing Sessions: After your first session, ongoing sessions are typically 50–55 minutes and provide a dedicated space to explore the question, "What are you wanting for yourself during our time together?" 

Created with you in mind: The pace and frequency of sessions are flexible and are shaped by your needs and what feels most helpful for you. Our time together is a collaborative space to support your growth, self-understanding, and the choices you want to make for your life.

Odds & Ends:  Therapy is a practice of healing, and it often involves learning to be present with intense emotions. This can feel challenging at times, so together we’ll pace and titrate your experiences to help you feel safe and supported throughout the process.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our work. There are a few exceptions, which we’ll review together so you feel clear and comfortable.

If we happen to see each other outside of therapy, I will respect your privacy and will not acknowledge you unless you choose to acknowledge me.

Questions?  Happy to answer them & more information will be provided in the intake paperwork.

I look forward to meeting with you

Warmly,

Rebecka
