If you feel resonance by reading my website and/or after having a complimentary consultation, we will schedule your first session. I will send you a set of forms via email for you to complete and email back or bring to the first session. These forms ask you about general information and explain my confidentiality and privacy policy as well as the financial agreement. I highly recommend you complete these forms ahead of time so we can use the full length of time for our session.
During sessions you will be invited to share honestly current or past experiences that are affecting your present life. You will be helped to put some light over situations or aspects of yourself that need attention. Sometimes you will be assigned simple exercises or assignments conducive to help you to practice what has been discussed during session. You will be experimenting new perspectives and ways to handle situations until you find the right option for you. Depending on your uniqueness, specific needs and goals, and level of commitment, therapy can be short-term or long-term.
Therapy sessions will be scheduled in a weekly basis, although sometimes it might be suggested to either have sessions twice a week or increase the time of the session from 50 minutes to 90 minutes. Towards the end of the process, we may space sessions out to every other week.
Coming to therapy is the best investment you can do in your personal life. It’s a sacred gift you are offering to yourself and that you absolutely deserve. Most likely you invest time and money to satisfy other people’s needs and wants, or to take care of your external appearance.
How about start taking care of your essence, your soul, your mind, your emotions? How about taking care of the most important person in the world: you? Your external image will be enhanced by the shine of your inner world. Once you reach more clarity and peace in your life, everything and everyone outside you will be positively impacted.
To make the most out of your investment of energy, time and money in therapy, it is necessary you play an active and committed role in your process by being consistent and compliant. If you know you are truly interested and willing to initiate this process, take that first step and give me a call: (407) 270-5931.
Besides the sessions in the office, I might suggest you to do things such as reading, journaling, practicing a new skill (consciously breathing, meditating), observing and taking notes of your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, and moving into action in the pursue of your personal goals. Once you feel closer to your goal for coming to counseling with me, we will meet less frequently until we just get in touch for follow-ups. It will be totally up to you if later, you decide you would like to schedule more sessions to continue working on reaching other goals or to have support in maintaining the balance you have attained. In the event you need some specialized service that is out of my scope of practice I will provide you alternatives and referrals to colleagues with that specific expertise.
