If you’ve never been to therapy before, you may have a lot of questions about what it feels like to see a therapist.  That’s normal! As humans, many of us feel a bit of uncertainty or anxiety when facing a novel situation. Folks heading to therapy aren’t looking for additional anxiety to be added to their plate, so I wanted to take a moment to share what you can expect when you go see a therapist.  Keep in mind, I’m writing from my own orientation and practice as a therapist - there is a fairly wide variation in terms of therapist’s personalities and how they interact with clients, and unfortunately I can’t speak for every therapist out there.  Even so, I hope that this information helps you to feel more clear on what to expect when you meet with your therapist.
