What To Expect Before Your First Session
Free 30 Minute Consultations For All New Clients
Before your first appointment, we will gather some basic information to understand your needs and the type of support you are seeking. This helps us prepare for your session and ensures that we begin with clarity and direction. You may share whether you are seeking therapy as an individual or as a couple, what concerns you want to explore, and whether you prefer Christian based guidance, a more general counseling approach, or a blend of both.
We also encourage clients to reflect on their goals for counseling. Some want better communication. Others want to rebuild connection after a painful experience. Some want to strengthen their marriage or explore personal identity. Understanding your goals helps us shape sessions that support meaningful progress.
Your First Appointment
Your first session is a calm conversation where you can share your story, your concerns, and your hopes for the future. We take time to understand what you are experiencing and how it is affecting your daily life. You are encouraged to speak honestly, ask questions, and express anything that feels important.
During this appointment, we will work together to outline a clear direction for future sessions. You may explore emotional patterns, communication habits, relationship dynamics, or spiritual questions. This first meeting offers a steady foundation that helps you feel understood and supported from the beginning.
Ongoing Counseling Sessions
After the initial session, ongoing appointments will be scheduled in a rhythm that suits your needs. Some clients prefer weekly sessions. Others choose bi weekly or monthly appointments based on their goals, schedule, and emotional capacity. We work with you to create a pace that feels balanced and effective.
Each session offers space to explore concerns with greater depth. You will learn practical tools, understand emotional patterns, and develop a clearer perspective on your relationships. Your goals may evolve as you grow, and we adjust the process to reflect those changes.
Our counseling approach remains steady throughout. We listen with care, offer guidance with clarity, and respect your personal and spiritual values. For clients who desire Christian centered support, Scripture and prayer can be included as requested.
Preparing for Your Sessions
Preparing for counseling sessions can help you get the most out of your time. You may want to think about recent experiences that were challenging or meaningful. You may reflect on conversations that did not go as expected or moments when you felt encouraged. Bringing these experiences into session allows us to explore them with insight and understanding.
Some clients find it helpful to write a few thoughts beforehand. Others prefer to speak freely when they arrive. Both approaches are welcome. What matters most is that you come with a willingness to explore your feelings, experiences, and goals.
Who Can Book an Appointment
We welcome individuals, engaged couples, married couples, and families who are seeking emotional or relational support. You do not need to be at a crisis point to schedule counseling. Many clients choose to begin therapy when they feel a desire for growth, clarity, or preventive support.
Whether you are facing conflict in your relationship, seeking peace after a difficult experience, preparing for marriage, or exploring personal concerns, counseling offers meaningful guidance that can strengthen every part of life.
Cancellations and Rescheduling
Life can be unpredictable, and we understand that appointments sometimes need to be adjusted. If you need to reschedule or cancel a session, we ask that you contact our office with at least a 24-hour notice to avoid cancellation fees. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another client who may be waiting.
We are committed to being flexible and supportive when changes are needed. We simply ask that communication remain clear so that scheduling remains smooth for everyone.
