Our initial meeting will be the intake session. We will start by collecting data on the reason for the visit. This will help me to formulate a diagnosis and create an individualized treatment plan that meets the client's healthcare needs.

My primary goal is to build rapport, determine whether we are a good fit for the therapeutic partnership, establish a secure environment for collaboration, discuss treatment and expectations, and set goals for future visits.
