A Bit About Therapy
What to Expect

At Empower and Thrive Counseling, we know that reaching out for help isn’t easy. That’s why we focus on creating a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. Our therapists take a whole-person approach, paying attention not just to your thoughts and emotions, but also to how stress, relationships, and even physical health can impact your well-being.
Your first session is called an intake session. During this time, your therapist will ask about your story, your hopes, and what feels most important to you right now. They’ll also explain how therapy works and collaborate with you to create a plan tailored to your goals. Just as important, it’s an opportunity for you to get to know your therapist and see if their style feels like a good fit. Finding the right connection matters—it’s the foundation of meaningful change.
It’s normal to feel a mix of emotions when starting therapy—uncertainty, fear, curiosity, or even relief. Whether you’ve tried counseling before or this is your very first time, therapy can be a fresh start. Together, you and your therapist will explore what you want your life to look like and take practical steps toward making it a reality.
✨ If you’re considering therapy, we invite you to schedule a free consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and empowered.
At Empower and Thrive Counseling, we are dedicated to helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
