ContactA first session usually includes time to discuss what brings you in, relevant background, questions, goals, and what you hope will be different. It is also an opportunity to decide whether the clinician and approach feel like a workable fit.
Review each clinician’s areas of focus, approaches, appointment formats, and current availability. Fit is personal, so it is reasonable to ask questions before scheduling and to discuss concerns if the match does not feel right.
