Hey future friend!
Sometimes when I do a new thing I feel worried.
If therapy is new to you here is what the first time will be like:
Before you meet me your parents will tell me a little bit about you.
Your parents will make an appointment and you will come to my office and wait in the waiting room.
I will come out to the waiting room and bring you to my office where you can sit on the couch.
You can come into the office to talk to me together with a parent or you can talk to me on your own.
I will ask you some questions about yourself, what you like, what is hard for you, and what you want to get better in your life.
I have fidgets, games, toys, and art supplies in my office that we can use.
Nothing scary happens, we just chat.
We all will decide if we should keep seeing each other.
