Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to experience a mix of emotions—nervousness, curiosity, or even excitement. The first session is an opportunity to build a connection with your therapist and set the foundation for meaningful work, all from the comfort of your own space. Typically, the session begins with a warm welcome as you settle into the virtual platform. Your therapist’s primary goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. You’ll spend some time discussing what’s bringing you to therapy, exploring your current challenges, and touching on your personal history if it feels relevant.
