Gail Braxton
Clinical Therapist, LCSW
Your First Visit
Counseling, Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Psychiatric Consultation.
During our first session, I'd like to formally introduce myself and talk about my role in the therapy session. I'll initially ask you, "what brings you here for therapy.” If we've discussed this during a recent consultation, it will be a clarification of our initial goal.
Afterward, we'll complete a bio-psychosocial assessment. This assessment helps me formulate an initial diagnosis and begin the treatment plan. We'll discuss your treatment goals and the manner in which we will begin to carry out the plan. We're not rushed to finish everything in one session. The session is guided by you as well as the tone and discussion of difficult issues.
The most important goal for me is to build a therapeutic relationship with you. This is very important to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident that my expertise and services will guide you on the road to healing and recovery.
