What to Expect at Your First Therapy Session
Offered at The Connection Nook

At The Connection Nook, we aim to make your first therapy session a comfortable, welcoming, and insightful experience. Whether you're seeking individual therapy or couples therapy, the first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting, collaborative relationship.

During your first session, I will guide you through a process of exploring your concerns, challenges, and goals for therapy. We'll take time to understand your personal history, emotional landscape, and any significant events or patterns that may be impacting your current situation. This is a safe space for you to express yourself, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

For individual therapy, we’ll begin by discussing any difficulties you're facing—whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or other life challenges. We’ll focus on identifying your core concerns and work together to understand the root causes and how they’re impacting your life. In couples therapy, we’ll discuss the dynamics of your relationship, exploring areas where communication may be strained, emotional disconnection has occurred, or conflicts have become challenging. Through this process, we will begin to identify goals for improving your connection and relationship.

Our conversation will help shape the direction of future sessions, where we will work on strategies to address your concerns, develop new skills, and create lasting change. Throughout our work together, you can expect a compassionate, direct, and collaborative approach. Therapy at The Connection Nook is about exploring your unique story, engaging in personal discovery, and gaining practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.

Your first session is just the beginning of a transformative journey, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
