Free & Extended Consultations
$0/$45
A counseling consultation session is a preliminary meeting between a potential client and a therapist to discuss the client’s concerns, determine compatibility, and assess whether the therapist and therapy approach align with the client’s needs. It serves as a foundation for building trust and setting expectations for future sessions.
Key Features of Consultation Sessions:
Introductions:
The session begins with introductions, providing an opportunity for the client to get to know the therapist and their background, qualifications, and approach to therapy.
The therapist explains the purpose of the consultation and sets a tone of openness and collaboration.
Understanding Client Concerns:
The client shares the primary issues or challenges that prompted them to seek counseling.
This could include personal struggles, mental health symptoms, relationship challenges, life transitions, or specific goals.
Therapist’s Assessment:
The therapist asks questions to gain a deeper understanding of the client’s situation, history, and context.
Areas of focus may include emotional well-being, relationship dynamics, coping strategies, and any past experiences with therapy.
Exploration of Therapy Goals:
The client and therapist discuss the client’s goals and what they hope to achieve through counseling.
This helps establish a preliminary focus for future sessions.
Explanation of Therapy Process:
The therapist provides an overview of how counseling works, the therapeutic techniques they use, and the typical structure of sessions.
Information about confidentiality, session frequency, duration, and logistics (e.g., payment, cancellations, virtual/in-person sessions) is discussed.
Client Questions:
The client has the opportunity to ask questions about the therapist, their approach, and what to expect from therapy.
This helps the client make an informed decision about continuing with the therapist.
Determining Fit:
Both the client and therapist assess whether they are a good match for working together.
If the therapist feels that the client’s needs would be better served by another professional or a different type of therapy, they may provide a referral.
Next Steps:
If the client decides to proceed, the therapist and client outline the next steps, such as scheduling the first full session and setting initial goals.
If the client chooses not to continue, they can explore other options or take time to consider their decision.
Duration:
A free consultation session is limited to 10 minutes and an extended consultation session is 30 minutes (often shorter than regular therapy sessions) and may be free or offered at a reduced rate, depending on the therapist's policies.
Purpose:
To provide clarity and direction for the client’s therapeutic journey.
To ensure that the client feels comfortable and supported in moving forward with counseling.
A consultation session is a valuable opportunity for clients to explore therapy in a low-pressure setting and to take the first step toward addressing their concerns.
