MEREDITH SMITH PSYD

While therapy is becoming more and more socially acceptable, it can still be a nerve-racking process to begin therapy or start with a new therapist.  The initial visit will be getting to know each other to determine we are a good fit.  I will want to know what brought you to therapy and identify, and hopefully alleviate, any worries or fears about the process.  I will not make you talk about anything you are not ready to discuss but by the end of our session we will hopefully create a plan to support your goals and objectives.  I am very adaptable to differencing needs and want to create a style of interaction that works best for who you are and what you find supportive.  With that said, I do tend to use humor when appropriate but cannot guarantee the caliber of said humor:).
