What you can expect from the first session.
Olivia emphasizes the importance of self-autonomy, accountability, boundary setting, and establishing clear objectives for therapy. In the initial session, she explores what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. She takes time to discuss current concerns and asks thoughtful questions to better understand your background and goals.
