If you are looking for help with dealing with sexual abuse and other forms of trauma as well as anxiety and depression, you are in a healthy place. It takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own is the first step in your journey toward healing and growth.

The goals that you have for yourself are important. You and I will develop a treatment plan to fully address your issues. The treatment plan that we develop as a team will identify problem areas and strategies to work on the problem.

The First Appointment
The First Appointment
A few things happen during the first appointment. To help you start to feel comfortable, we will talk for a few minutes about how you are feeling and your therapy goals. One important document that needs to be read and signed is called The Informed Consent. This is a contract between the counselor and client that includes the agreement to participate in counseling, counseling and cancellation fees, confidentiality procedures, etc.

You will also read and sign authorizations. When you sign these authorizations, you give me permission to interact with your insurance company/EAP and to call someone if you need medical care. This establishes the professional side of our counseling partnership.
