An individual or family/couple session usually lasts 50-55 minutes. During your first session, your counselor will go over the paperwork that you filled out and answer any questions you have. Your counselor will then help you begin to tell your story and the two of you will begin to establish goals for your work together. During the first 3 or 4 sessions, you and your counselor will clarify your goals as you establish a trusting relationship.
To achieve your goals you will draw on the expertise and training of your counselor, your own personal resources, and your will to change and grow. You will take risks to explore yourself. You will get to know yourself better. You will begin to understand the ways that you get stuck and how to get unstuck. Whether your struggles are internal, relational, or even cultural/systemic, investment in the counseling process can pay great dividends in your life.
