We get it — starting therapy can feel intimidating. But your first session at Rise Above Therapy is all about making you feel safe, welcomed, and understood. 🙌

Here’s what typically happens in a first session:

  1. Meet Your Therapist: We’ll start with introductions and make sure you feel comfortable.

  2. Share Your Story (if you're ready): You can talk about why you came to therapy, but there’s no pressure.

  3. Set Goals Together: We'll work with you to create goals based on your needs and hopes.

  4. Ask Questions: Therapy is a two-way relationship, and we welcome your questions.

Most importantly, you’re in control. We go at your pace, always. 💙

You can learn more about our therapists and how to book a session right here. Let’s start this journey together. 🛤
