Getting Started: What to Expect
Taking the first step toward help can feel uncertain, especially when you’re not sure what kind of support you need. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your partner, or both, we’re here to make the process clear, respectful, and supportive from the very beginning. The first step in working with our practice is a comprehensive assessment. This initial conversation helps us understand your unique situation and determine which services or therapists will best meet your needs.
Step 1: Schedule a Confidential Assessment
Every individual and couple’s story is different. An assessment allows us to explore what’s been happening, how it’s affecting your life or relationships, and what your goals are for therapy. During this conversation, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and learn more about what working together would look like. Our goal is to provide a correct diagnosis and clear treatment plan, so that your therapy, whether individual, couples, or group work, is tailored to your specific needs. We know that reaching out can be difficult. You don’t have to have the right words or know exactly what to ask; we’ll walk you through every step.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Recommendations
After your assessment, we’ll discuss the next steps together. Depending on your needs, we may recommend one or more of the following:
- Individual Therapy — Focused support for healing, behavior change, or personal growth
- Couples Therapy — Guided work to rebuild trust, communication, and connection
- Group Support — Shared recovery experiences in a structured, confidential setting
Your treatment plan is always individualized. Built around your goals, values, and readiness for change.
Step 3: Beginning Your Healing Process
Once a plan is in place, you’ll begin therapy at a pace that feels manageable. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. Some people begin with individual sessions, others start with group support, and many find a combination of both most effective. Our therapists will continue to assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed, ensuring that your care evolves with you.
Compassionate, Professional Care from the Start
From your very first call, our focus is on creating a safe, judgment-free environment where you can begin to heal and move forward. If you’re ready to take the first step, please reach out to schedule a confidential assessment. Together, we’ll begin the process of understanding, healing, and change.
