Relationships Are Hard

There are a lot of ways a relationship can start to go wrong, but a qualified therapist can help turn the ship around to regain trust, increase perspective, re-establish respect and acheive healthy relationship dynamics with those you care about the most. Seeking therapy is the first step in showing that you do in fact care about the relationship and its health level.

Leaving Relationship Issues Unaddressed Can Result In:

  • Depression and anger
  • Lack of connection and intentional distancing
  • Difficulty in working together
  • Increased risk of violence

Getting Ready For Change

After your scheduled consultation has been completed, you will be emailed onboarding documents needed for officially starting therapy. Completing these documents with accurate information is the first step to getting ready for change.

Some people feel more nervous about scheduling a consultation than others. In order to feel more confident, there are things you can do to get your mind psychologically prepped for your consultation. Whether or not you come to the consultation with prepped notes, your therapist will ask you questions to ascertain your goals for therapy. If you would like a tool to bring for more consultation confidence, consider bringing notes on the bullet points below.

In order to prepare for this consultation, here are a few things you can do (this is optional):

  • Ask yourself why you are seeking therapy. Write some bullet points down, about 2 to 4, to be briefly discussed during your consultation.
  • Name about 2 to 4 feelings you are struggling with.
  • Write 2 to 4 things you are wanting to accomplish from therapy.
