WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE FIRST THERAPY SESSION: What It Is REALLY Like to Start Therapy [CC]

I go over the entire process of how to start therapy, from finding a therapist to completing your first therapy appointment. In detail, I talk about making your first therapy appointment and what happens during the first therapy session, giving you real information about what it is like to start therapy. I know it's hard, really hard. But hopefully knowing answers to questions such as "What does a therapy session look like" and "What to expect at your first counseling session" will help you feel better prepared to finally take this big step!

Hey everyone, I'm Devin! I currently have my Associates and Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology. Before the pandemic, I was working towards my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That was put on hold because I have an autoimmune disease (Ulcerative Colitis) that has caused me to be in quarantine for over 5 months at this point. I also have multiple mental illnesses (Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Dependent Personality Disorder) that I have been dealing with for most of my life. I post videos about living with chronic physical and mental illnesses, using both my personal experiences and my educational background in the mental health field. My contact links are included below if anyone would like to reach out! 💙
