Your First Visit
It can be unnerving to walk into a psychologist’s office and talk about your problems. Dr. Agree understands this. She makes it a priority to ensure your first visit is a comfortable and pleasant experience. And she will make certain that you leave with a better understanding of your situation and options.
During your initial meeting, you may come in with a lot to say, or you may not know where to start, or even what to talk about. Please don’t worry about feeling confused or inarticulate. Dr. Agree will guide you through the session in a casual, comfortable manner. She will listen to your story, ask questions, and help you make sense of your situation.
Most people who feel nervous in the beginning feel much more at ease by the end.
What to expect
Dr. Agree recognizes that you are looking for answers. She wants you to leave the first session having learned something relevant and useful. As you approach the end of the hour, she will explain what she sees as important conflicts or themes in your description, and if she believes she can help you.

On the way
to my first therapy appointment I was so nervous that I crashed my car. I think about that memory often because it reminds me of how much courage it takes for someone to walk into my office for the first time.
