A first session with Adam

The first session is always oriented towards the client in the room and what goals, values, hopes, and expectations they have for treatment. Additionally, you can expect a dose of humor as we explore what therapy would look like with me and whether that is the best possible fit for you or not. The first session taking with me takes seriously the person sitting in the room for treatment.
