What to Expect From Your First Therapy Session

A demystifying guide to walking into your first session with confidence.

Therapy room chair ready for a first session
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. You don't need to have it all figured out. A good therapist will ask gentle, open questions. You can share as much or as little as feels right. It's okay to cry. It's okay to laugh. It's okay to say "I don't know."
