Before you arrive
Your first session
The first session is 50 minutes for individuals and 80 minutes for couples, in person at our Tampa office or by video if you are in Florida. You sit with your clinician and talk about what brought you in and what you would like from therapy.
You don't need to prepare anything. Your clinician explains how privacy works, how scheduling works, and how fees and receipts work. At the end, you decide whether to book another.

Deciding
