Your First Visit

Core Counseling is currently offering virtual appointments via a secure video platform.

During your initial visit, you and your therapist will spend the first bit of time reviewing the intake paperwork and answering any questions you may have. Once done with the business side of things, the remainder of your initial appointment will be talking about what brought you into therapy. Your therapist has questions that they ask all new clients; you may or may not get through all of them in that first appointment, and that’s okay. At the end of your first session, your therapist will ask what you hope to get out of coming to therapy which will help formulate treatment goals for your work together, and your therapist will make treatment recommendations.

Core Counseling aims to cultivate a warm, empathetic, and supportive yet challenging environment. We think it’s important to find a good fit for your therapist. If, for some reason, you don’t feel Core Counseling is a good fit, we will do our best to support you in finding someone who better meets your needs.
