Your first full session will be a chance to talk more deeply about what brings you in and what you're hoping for from therapy. Your therapist will guide the conversation and help you feel comfortable — there's no need to prepare anything.

Most clients come once a week. Some people may come more or less often depending on their goals and availability — your therapist will collaborate with you to find what works best.

A third space is a concept from sociology — a space outside of home and work where connection and growth happen. In therapy, we think of the third space as the unique relationship between therapist and client: a collaborative, creative space for reflection and change.
