  Your practitioner will explain confidentiality, answer your questions, and ask about your concerns and goals. It’s also an opportunity to see how comfortable you feel working together.

• Will I have to talk about things I’m not ready to share?

  You decide what to share and when. Let your practitioner know if something feels uncomfortable or you need to slow down.

• How often will I need appointments?

  Some people attend weekly or every other week, while others benefit from less frequent support. You and your practitioner can decide on a schedule that fits your needs and circumstances.

  The number varies depending on your concerns and goals. Your practitioner will check in with you about progress and discuss whether ongoing sessions would be helpful.
