What should I expect if I'm new to therapy?

Starting therapy at Lucere Counseling begins with a free 15-minute consultation call. If it feels like a good fit, the first one or two sessions focus on getting to know each other and setting personalized goals. Sessions are casual, conversational, and skill-based. It can feel a little awkward at first — that is completely normal and expected.
