How to Prepare for Your First Therapy Session

Preparation can ease anxiety before your first therapy session. Lake Counseling suggests jotting down key topics, triggers, or questions to discuss. Reflect on what you hope to gain from therapy. Be ready to talk about your mental health history, but only share what feels safe. Dress comfortably, arrive on time, and approach the session with an open mind. Lake Counseling’s team ensures the process is smooth and welcoming. By preparing just a little, you create the space for a productive and reassuring first experience that lays the groundwork for meaningful growth.
