What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Nervous about going to your first counseling session and not sure what to expect? We have got you covered.
Thinking about Scheduling Your First Appointment?
First of all, I want to acknowledge what a huge step this is. It is never easy to ask for help or try a new way of approaching a situation, and it is something I don't take lightly and hold with honor to get to walk beside you.
The first step would be to fill out a new patient profile on SimplePractice and schedule an appointment time.
SimplePractice will send you an appointment confirmation email along with new patient paperwork to fill out before we meet. Please send this paperwork to me before our first session.
Where do I go?
When you arrive for your session at 9525 Katy Freeway, you can park in the front of the building facing I-10 in any spot that is uncovered. You will walk through the doors at the front of of the building and take the stairs or the elevator to the second floor. Elevators are located in the middle of the building. New Plans Counseling is located in suite 208.
When you arrive, you can wait in the waiting room until I come out to get you for our session.
What are we going to talk about?
The first session is really for us to get to know each other. I will introduce myself and talk about how I do therapy and what to expect from our sessions and will ask you what brings you to counseling. At the end of the session we will discuss frequency and steps moving forward.
