EP. 4 - PART 3: What Is Going To Counseling Like?  De-Mystifying The First Appointment

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH: The first time telling someone about struggles or tough things happening to you can be scary.  Maybe these are things you’ve never told anyone before.  This week, Jess and Ash break down the first appointment and what you can expect.  It might seem like a lot of questions, but it is the first step to growth. 

Although we work hard to bring inspirational, educational and impactful info to you...it does not in any way take the place of counseling or dictate a clinician/client relationship. This podcast is for enjoyment and we encourage you to consult a professional if needing specific services.  

WE ALSO TALK ABOUT:

  • Honoring uncertainty and feelings that come up before you first appointment. 

  • Therapists LOVE to meet you and hear your story

  • All steps, no matter a stumble or solid, are still steps!

  • Your experiences impact your behavior.

  • The past is important, the initial appointment will be a information gathering time. 

  • Confidentiality, right to privacy, licensure, supervision arrangements, and mandated reporting.
