Now scheduling EMDR Intensives. No longer scheduling weekly therapy appointments.

First Therapy Visit

What to Expect

Our first therapy session

has two main goals  

1

GAIN CLARITY ABOUT INTENSIVES

The first 30-minute meeting prior to your intensives is free. This initial meeting is a chance for you to ask questions and understand the purpose and process of EMDR intensives. It's also a chance for us to get to know each other. Building a supportive and honest client/therapist relationship is crucial for successful therapy. The quality of our relationship plays a vital role in achieving your therapy goals. 

2

assess your circumstances

It is important you take an active role in your healing. A customized workbook will be provided to you to help assess your current need. From there, we will be able to better determine what our work will entail. While each client/therapist relationship is unique, some common values and themes apply to all sessions, and you can expect the following:

  • You will arrive in a safe, supportive, and confidential space while being treated with compassion, empathy, respect, and understanding.

  • You will be presented with someone who is available to listen to you and your interpretation of what you are currently experiencing.

What’s Next?

From here, we will schedule a series of meetings to work on the targets we establish. Sessions will be held either online or in person.

Patient Forms

If you have any questions about any of these forms, please ask at any point. If you are coming to a face-to-face appointment, or if this is an online session, you may email them to me at my encrypted account at cmileslcsw@hushmail.com or you can mail them in advance of your session.
