What Happens in Your First Therapy Session?

Your first therapy session is designed to be informative and supportive. Lake Counseling clinicians begin with introductions, followed by an open discussion about your reasons for seeking help. They’ll ask about your background, relationships, and emotional health. You’ll also set initial goals for your therapy journey. Don’t expect to solve everything at once—this is just the starting point. Lake Counseling’s supportive, nonjudgmental approach ensures you feel safe and validated as you begin exploring your thoughts and feelings with a professional who’s committed to helping you thrive.
