your first session at k.a.f counseling in rhode island

What to Expect in Your First Therapy Session with Karen F. at K.A.F Counseling in Rhode Island.

If you’re considering therapy or looking for a new therapist, you might be feeling a mix of hope and nerves about that first session. It’s completely normal to wonder, “What will it be like?” I want to demystify it for you.

Many new clients come in feeling overwhelmed, carrying the weight of everything that feels wrong or stressful. They often feel confused and aren't sure where to begin.

My first priority is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can talk freely. I know this seems fundamental, but I really listen. I listen not just to your words, but for the strength and wisdom that is already within you that you might not yet see.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. The first session is simply a conversation where we get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you in and what you’re hoping to find. My philosophy is that you are the driver of your healing journey. I am your guide in the passenger seat, here to help you navigate and point out the strengths you already possess.

My goal for our first meeting is for you to feel heard, respected, and to leave with a sense of hope. We will have started a collaborative partnership to help you find your answers and feel lighter.

If you're looking for a supportive guide in Rhode Island, I would be honored to listen.
