First Appointment with Psychologist – 60 Min

What is it?

Our 60-minute first session is a one-on-one consultation with a qualified psychologist or relationship therapist, tailored to understand your specific needs and challenges. Whether you’re dealing with mental health concerns or relationship issues, this initial session aims to provide a clear understanding of your current situation and set the foundation for a personalized treatment plan.

Why is it important?

This session is crucial as it allows you to share your concerns openly in a safe and non-judgmental environment. It helps the therapist gain insights into your emotional, mental, or relational struggles, and provides a starting point for creating an actionable path toward healing and growth. Early intervention can prevent issues from escalating and promote long-term well-being.
