You’ve already taken a great step by visiting our website and looking for therapeutic support for yourself or a family member. There's no need to prepare an agenda for the first session. I understand that initial meetings can be difficult, and I will guide you through the process.
The first session typically lasts longer than 50 minutes. I will gather information about your background and the challenges you're currently facing. At the end of this session, I will provide you with professional feedback, and together we’ll discuss a treatment plan or options to help you achieve your goals.
My practice follows the professional code of ethics outlined by the Ontario College of Social Workers, which requires that all information shared during therapy remains confidential. Exceptions will be explained during our first meeting.
There is no set duration for therapy. Some issues can be resolved in just a few sessions, while more complex ones may take longer. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
When parents reach out, I schedule the first session with them to discuss their concerns. After that, I will meet with the child for the intake session. Parental involvement can be crucial depending on the child's age and the specific issues. We will adjust the level of communication based on these factors.
