Preparing for Consultation

  • What to bring?

    What are your top 2 concerns you want to address in therapy?

    What has worked well in the past or not worked well for you?

    Do you have specific expectations from a therapist? Share them.

    What ways do you feel your current struggles are impacting your functioning and how would you like to feel instead?

  • What to ask:

    What is your approach to therapy? (e.g., cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, etc.)

    What is your personal philosophy on mental health / medications?

    How do you handle disagreements with clients?

    How do you address cultural or identity based concerns?

  • What next?
