Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you don’t know what to expect.
Your first session isn’t about diving into everything all at once. It’s about creating a foundation.
Typically, you can expect:
- A conversation about what brought you to therapy
- Gentle questions about your background and current challenges
- Space to share at your own pace
Most importantly, it’s a chance to see if you feel comfortable and safe with your therapist.
There’s no pressure to “get it right.” You don’t need to prepare or perform.
Just showing up is enough—and it’s a powerful first step.
