What to Expect During Your First Therapy Session

In a therapy session, you can expect a process of exploration and discovery. We’ll begin by discussing your concerns, history, and what you hope to achieve. This initial phase helps us build a foundation for our work together. We’ll then identify patterns, develop strategies, and learn new skills to address your challenges. At the end of your therapy session your therapist will give you feedback on why you are getting/staying stuck and will propose a plan to help you work towards successful completion of your goals. Your therapist will make recommendations including what will be worked on, how often you should attend sessions, and their estimation of what a course of therapy looks like.

Our approach is not about providing quick fixes. Instead, we empower you to actively participate in your own healing and growth. We believe that your insights and experiences are invaluable, and we work together to create a path towards lasting change.

Client Testimonials and Success Stories

Success Stories:

Janet and Mark from Oregon City:

This couple started therapy to work through a challenging phase of life. The couple recently moved to the area for Mark’s new job and Janet was dealing with her mother’s illness and the strain of raising two young children. The couple wanted to work on improving their communication and making sure their level of emotional and physical intimacy didn’t get lost in the shuffle of their busy lives.

After 4 months of couples counseling the couple had made great strides. Both partners reported feeling more confident sharing their thoughts, feelings, and needs with each other. Janet had worked to set more limits with her parents and was feeling more balanced and present with her family. This couple worked hard in therapy and made great progress. Janet has this to say towards the end of therapy: “I don’t think we would have seen the opportunities to make the changes our therapist suggested.” “We were just so stuck in our own thoughts and seeing different views was super helpful.”

Blake from Oregon City:

Blake decided to start therapy after a relationship of 2 years had just ended. The goal for therapy was to identify why Blake had struggled to maintain relationships and make long-term commitments his partner had been looking for.

The therapy process led Blake to explore his relationship with commitment and he uncovered a pattern of avoiding deeper connections as a way of self-protecting against being hurt. Blake saw this pattern in his past friendships, romantic relationships, and even with co-workers. Once Blake understood his fears about opening up and connecting deeply, he was able to address these fears head-on. During his last therapy session Blake reflected on his time in counseling: “I’m glad I took the time to look at myself the way I did in therapy.” “This therapy probably saved me from more failed relationships in the future since I had no idea why I was doing what I was doing.” “For the first time in my life I feel like I have a chance to have a successful long-term relationship and it’s pretty exciting.”

Rebecca from Oregon City:

Rebecca came to therapy hoping to gain clarity on whether her expectations for her partner were realistic or not. She reported on growing conflict in her relationship that was leading to building resentment from both sides.

Through working with her therapist Rebecca learned that her expectations were there as a way to feel more in control and less fearful of her environment. The more Rebecca placed expectations on her partner the more he felt mothered and criticized. Rebecca’s new understanding allowed her to change her approach, accept more of her environment, and become more at peace with the idea of not being in total control of her surroundings. The positive changes Rebecca made filtered through to her relationship and by the end of therapy Rebecca noted this had really turned around.
