What To Expect from Mental Health Counseling in Orlando
A Comfortable First Step
Starting therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. At Orlando Thrive Therapy, we create a warm and welcoming environment where you can openly share your thoughts, goals, and challenges. Your first session focuses on understanding your story and identifying the changes you want to make in your life or relationships.
Working Together Toward Change
The first step is simply contacting us. Many people spend time researching therapy or hoping their challenges will resolve on their own before making the call. Feeling nervous about starting therapy is completely normal, and our team understands that reaching out can feel like the hardest part.
Choosing A Therapist
It’s normal to wonder what it will feel like to share personal information with a stranger. The connection you have with your therapist is extremely important during your therapy process! This is one reason that we take our time during that initial phone call to find out more about what is bringing you in. We want to be able to truly understand what your goals are, match you with the right therapist, and explain to you how that therapist will be able to help you.
Once we determine that our services are a good fit for you, we will schedule your first appointment.
Your First Session
After we have had a chance to chat and determine that our therapy services are a good fit for you, we will schedule your first session. That first session with us will be an intake session that will vary in time depending on the service you are coming in for. If you are a couple, we will spend approximately 90 minutes together and if you are an individual it will last about 60 minutes. We will use this time to ask you questions about what has brought you to therapy, gathering information about your life and therapy goals, so that we can determine the best course of action for how to serve you.
Your Personalized Therapy Plan
After the intake session, your therapist will work with you to create a personalized therapy plan designed to support your goals and growth. Most clients begin by attending therapy once per week, which helps maintain momentum and allows meaningful progress toward positive change.
