How do I prepare for my first therapy session?

Preparing for your first Psychotherapy session can help you feel more comfortable and make the most of your time. Think about what you hope to accomplish in Psychotherapy and what changes you'd like to see in your life. Write down any questions you have about the process, your therapist's approach, or practical matters like scheduling and fees. Arrive a few minutes early to fill out paperwork and settle in. Remember that the first session is largely about getting to know each other and discussing your goals - you don't have to dive into your deepest issues right away. Come with an open mind and realistic expectations. Psychotherapy is a process, not a quick fix.
