My goals for you
I discuss with them their problem and then conclude what they would like to work on first. Then I find out from them what is the goal they would like to achieve from therapy. Then we discuss several different techniques that may assist them, such as role play, journaling, solution setting and checking them off as they are achieved.
My first session with you
They should expect to get to know a little about me. I expect to get to know a little about them. Especially what brought them to counseling. Most of all I want them to begin to feel comfortable with me and feel like I can assist them. I also would like them to leave with some preliminary goals to get them started on their wellness journey.
