If you want to use paper, plan to arrive 30 minutes early for your first appointment or drop by our office on an earlier date.
Why is there so much paperwork?
Your written description of your current situation and past experiences gives the therapist time to plan how to best help, allowing more time for other conversation in your first appointment. This work prior to the appointment allows for more time to discuss present issues during your first appointment instead of spending time gathering background information during the session.
Does therapy actually work?
Absolutely! There are decades of research to support the efficacy of therapy. Generally, the more motivated someone is to go to therapy and make changes in their life, the more successful therapy is at decreasing different mental health symptoms. There are many different types of evidence-based therapies, but research shows the therapeutic connection between patient and therapist is an incredibly important factor.
