Usually, we give you the chance to talk about why you are in therapy/counseling. After filling out basic general information and completing an assessment, you might reflect on your therapy goals. We provide you with a federal form called: the HIPAA (Notice of Privacy Practices) and a Therapy Agreement that you may take home for further review. Both these forms should be returned to the office and placed in your file - copies can be provided to you if you like. This session, and those to follow, usually last up to 50mins.
