Session:
We will start with a review of the confidentiality and privacy information. You will also have a chance to ask questions before we begin.

In the first session or two, I will get to know you better by asking you about:

• Your current situation (e.g., relationship status, children, and current job)
• The concerns that led you to seek psychological therapy
• Any medical conditions you might have
• Your current medications
• Your previous experiences with psychological therapy
• Any family history of mental health concerns
• Your personal history, including experiences growing up, and your education, work, and relationship history
• Your current lifestyle, including daily routines, hobbies, and whether you use alcohol or drugs
• Your strengths
• Your goals for therapy
