Intake Session

In our first session, we won’t jump straight into therapy. Instead, we’ll have a conversation about your story, what’s been on your mind, and anything important from your past or present, so we can understand what you need and how we can work together.

In this session, the aim is not to begin treatment but to:

• Understand the history and current concerns.
• Assess mental status and functioning (including ADLs).
• Gather medical, medication, and family history.
• Explore prior therapy or psychiatric interventions.
• Clarify goals and expectations for therapy.
