When you arrive, I will introduce myself to you and you will complete the intake paperwork (if you have not already).  I will ask you for your ID card and insurance card.  When you are complete with the paperwork, we will begin our session.  The first session is an informational session.  I will ask you many questions and you will ask me questions.  This helps to build a therapeutic relationship and for me to get a sense of how to assist you.   I believe one of the most important steps of the therapeutic process is building a therapeutic relationship.  This session will also give you the chance of seeing if I am the right therapist for you.
