COMMENCING THERAPY

Approaching the idea of therapy, especially for the first time, can seem overwhelming, filled with uncertainty about the process, the therapy environment, and the location. It's perfectly normal to have questions and to feel anxious or unsure.

Feeling nervous or hesitant about beginning therapy is completely understandable, but I want to reassure you that you're entering a space that is both secure and nurturing. The goal here is to focus on improving your mental health and overall wellness.

Should you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, tired, or even considering canceling your appointment, I encourage you to share these feelings with me. My role is to support you and address any worries you might have. I welcome you to express your emotions, thoughts, and experiences freely, without the need to prepare or have specific objectives at the outset. We're here to navigate any concerns that are weighing on you, and I'm committed to listening and providing support.

Together, we will employ evidence-based practices tailored to your needs, fostering a safe and empathetic space that lays the groundwork for our therapeutic partnership. My support extends to helping you access your inner strengths, transform how you react emotionally into a more balanced response, and develop skills for better emotional regulation and psychological adaptability.
