Counseling is a team effort. During your first visit you will be asked a questions about why you sought therapy, your health, past history, and current symptoms. Be prepared to answer questions and describe your feelings of what is going on. Being able to be open and honest is important to being able to provide you with the best possible care.
Also, you may have your own questions. The more that you understand the therapy process the more comfortable you'll be and the more productive your experience will be. Having questions prior to your first session is helpful. Understand that therapy is not a quick fix, but a process. It most likely took you a while to get where you are at, so it make take awhile to get to where you want to go.

I was a patient of Michelle's for about a year and a half. I am so grateful for her help. Michelle helped me get out of a toxic relationship. She used EMDR to help me overcome trauma from when I was a kid. She helped me grow in confidence and gave me the permission I needed to forgive myself. She helped me move on to the next phase of my life and when she felt that I was in a better place she helped me transition out of therapy - which I think is just as important as everything else she did for me.
Michelle is so very easy to talk to; she's funny and down to earth. She isn't judgmental at all
