will my counseling sessions take place?

We offer private and cofidential counseling offices, located inside The Community House as well as at partnering schools.

WHAT

happens during my first appointment?

Your first session is a chance for your therapist to get to know you and understand what brings you in. Together, you’ll talk about your goals, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This session helps lay the foundation for a supportive relationship and a personalized plan focused on where you are now and where you want to be.
