What to Expect: First Visit
Your first session at White Peaks Therapy is a meaningful starting point—an opportunity for us to get to know one another and determine whether we're the right fit to support your healing journey. We genuinely believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to effective therapy. If, for any reason, you feel that we're not the right match, we will gladly help connect you with another trusted therapist who may be a better fit for your needs.
The initial assessment is a collaborative conversation. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy now, what you’re hoping to change or understand, and what your goals and hopes are for this process. You’re invited to share your concerns, ask questions, and let us know what matters most to you.
-
For individuals, we’ll discuss the challenges you're facing, your history, and your aspirations for growth and healing.
-
For couples, we’ll explore your relationship dynamics, patterns, and past experiences from both perspectives to better understand how we can support your connection.
-
For families, we take time to hear from each member, gain insight into the family system, and build a foundation for working together.
Before your first session, we’ll ask you to complete intake paperwork, including important information about our practice policies, confidentiality, and informed consent. This allows us to use your full session time meaningfully and start from a place of understanding.
If we mutually decide it’s a good fit, we’ll talk through next steps, outline a tailored treatment plan, and schedule ongoing sessions to support your path forward.
