Individual Therapy & Counseling Services:

At Seattle Therapy & Counseling, we offer integrative, dynamic, and holistic mental health services. Our approach is active and collaborative, grounded in scientific research to provide you with sustainable strategies for managing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Whether you’re coping with trauma, adjusting to life changes, grieving a loss, struggling with stress, or seeking to improve relationships, our therapists are here to support your journey toward truth, compassion, courage, and happiness.

What happens in your first therapy session?

Your first therapy session at Seattle Therapy & Counseling is focused on building rapport with your therapist and helping them get to know you. We’ll discuss your history—only as much as you’re comfortable sharing—and explore your goals for therapy. Together, we’ll establish treatment objectives and discuss the expected duration of therapy based on your individual needs.

Research shows that the most important predictor of successful therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. That’s why our Seattle Therapy & Counseling services emphasize collaboration and authenticity, ensuring you feel safe, supported, and empowered in your therapeutic journey.

How Do I Prepare for My First Therapy Session?

There’s no need to prepare for therapy—your therapist will meet you exactly where you are. However, if you’d like to reflect beforehand, you can consider what you’d like to focus on in therapy or outline significant life events that have shaped you. Understanding your personal history can help contextualize the present and guide the therapy process.

What Can I Expect at the Start of Therapy? How Long Will It Take to Feel Better?

Starting therapy can be an emotional experience. You may initially feel vulnerable or even uncomfortable as you begin to process painful memories. This is a natural part of the healing journey. At Seattle Therapy & Counseling, we encourage you to trust the process, yourself, and your therapist. While healing isn’t linear, many clients notice positive changes within a few weeks as they begin applying therapeutic tools in their daily lives.
