What to Expect During Your First Therapy Consultation

Starting therapy can feel like a huge leap—exciting, maybe a little nerve-wracking. At Laura Abreu Therapy, we’re here to make that first step feel less overwhelming and more like the empowering choice it is. Here’s a guide to help you know what to expect during your initial consultation.

A Comfortable, Judgment-Free Space
Whether we're meeting virtually from the comfort of your home or in-person, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself. Think of this as a relaxed, honest conversation—no pressure, no judgment.

Sharing What Brought You Here
We’ll dive into what’s been weighing on you—whether it's anxiety, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck in life. You don’t need to have all the answers; this is your time to share what’s on your mind and what you hope to achieve.

Your Questions, Answered
Wondering how therapy works, what techniques I use, or what confidentiality really means? Ask away! I’ll walk you through everything so you feel confident and informed.

What Happens Next
We'll talk about how sessions are structured, how often we’ll meet, and how payment works. This helps you get a clear picture of how therapy will fit into your life—without any surprises.

Seeing If We’re a Good Match
Therapy is all about the connection. This consultation is a chance for both of us to see if we vibe. If it feels right, we’ll schedule your next session. If not, I’m happy to refer you to someone who might be a better fit.
