Your First Visit
Resources: Therapy Information
Doing something for the first time isn’t always easy, and that first session with your new counselor is no different. At Stenzel Clinical, we’re here to make sure it goes as smoothly and comfortably as possible.
Once you have scheduled your first appointment, you will receive a link to our HIPPA compliant patient portal. This will give you access to your intake forms, payment information, and an additional means of contacting your therapist through the secured platform. Please complete the intake forms prior to your first session. This allows your therapist to tailor your session.
Next, you will meet with your therapist and they will get to know you and learn what is brining you in to therapy. This first session is an assessment, so the therapist will be gathering information in order to have a fuller understanding of you and your history. During this time, please feel free ask your counselor questions about the counseling process.
During your first visit, you will experience empathy and understanding above all else. As you continue therapy, it is our hope that you will find hope, peace and freedom in your life. Although change is not easy and requires hard work, it’s worth it. So are you.
