A: During your assessment session, we will likely discuss your background, current concerns and goals for therapy. You may also be asked to complete some paperwork and sign consent forms prior to the assessment. The first session is an opportunity for you and your therapist to get to know each other and determine whether therapy is a good fit. These sessions are normally longer than a typical therapy session, lasting up to 90 minutes.
