So, how do we begin? I consider the first three sessions to be evaluation/assessment, during which time I am getting to know you, but in important ways you are getting to know me, too.

 I believe in an interactive process. Most people who come into therapy want feedback from their therapist and are looking for more than someone to comfort them. I will challenge you and your thinking in a tactful, non--judgmental, caring manner. I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt and always allowing people to save face.
