The beginning sessions will focus on understanding your background and what brought you to therapy. These conversations help us begin building a comfortable and trusting working relationship.

Below is an example of what subsequent sessions will look like through a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach.

In therapy, we'll discuss why these thoughts happen, recognize the patterns that enable them, and then identify common thinking issues.

Catastrophizing: assuming the worst and focusing on the negatives.

Jumping to Conclusions: deciding too quickly with little evidence.

Any skills you'll learn can be practiced during and/or between sessions. The goal isn't to force positivity or alter core beliefs, but rather to learn how to think in a more balanced way.
