Before Your Appointment

At Your Appointment

For an online therapy session, you’ll utilize our 100% safe, private, and HIPAA-complaint video tool. Whether you’re visiting our Richmond office or utilizing telehealth, your first session will mostly be covering your therapy goals, asking your therapist or psychiatrist any question you might have, and making a plan together. Most counseling sessions are 1 hour.

After Your Appointment

Establish how often you’re going to meet with your therapist. Then, show up consistently, honestly, and vulnerably. Most clients attend therapy once a week or every other week for 3 - 4 months, but some benefit from a different schedule.
