The best outcomes in therapy are most frequently achieved when both clients and their licensed clinical psychologist have a clear focus or goal, a shared understanding of the problem(s) to be addressed, and a successful working relationship.

During our first therapy consultation, we will begin to examine what you would like to accomplish in therapy. I encourage you to spend a few moments before our session thinking about what you hope to gain as a result of therapy, what might be different in your life if we are successful, what behavioral changes you hope to make, and what you think might be important for us to explore as we begin our work together. I would also encourage you to ask questions about the therapeutic process during our first session with your Santa Rosa therapist.
