What to Expect at Your First Therapy Session

By Dr. Priya Nair·June 11, 2026

Taking the step to book your first therapy session is brave. Here's what you can expect.

Before You Arrive

Complete your intake forms online beforehand. You don't need to prepare a speech — just come as you are.

The First 10 Minutes

Your therapist will introduce themselves, explain confidentiality, and describe how sessions typically work.

The Main Session

Your therapist will ask about your current concerns, history, and goals. You don't have to share everything at once.
