You’ll speak with our team about what brings you to therapy. This is a no-pressure, no-judgement conversation where we:
- Gain a basic understanding of what you're struggling with
- Answer your questions about our approach, insurance, and payment options
- Help match you with the therapist who's the best fit for your needs
- Schedule your first session at a time that works for you

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule your first full session, either online via secure video or in-person at our Springville office.
01
Your First Session
In your first session with your therapist, you’ll:
- Share your story in a safe, confidential space
- Explore what's been happening and how it's affecting your life
- Discuss your goals for therapy. What would "better" look like?
- Begin to understand the patterns keeping you stuck
- Create a personalized treatment plan together
Your therapist will listen deeply and ask thoughtful questions to understand your unique situation. This isn’t about judgment, it’s about understanding. Together, you’ll decide on a session frequency that works for you and begin building the skills and insights you need to create lasting change
02
Building Skills (Ongoing Sessions)
Each session builds on the last. You’ll:
- Learn evidence-based tools and coping strategies (CBT, ACT, ERP, mindfulness)
- Process difficult emotions and experiences at your own pace
- Practice new skills between sessions
- Track your progress and adjust your approach as needed
- Develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your patterns
We’ll check in regularly about your progress. If something isn’t working, we’ll adjust. Your therapy should always feel like it’s moving you forward.
03
Embracing Your New Horizon
What Success Looks Like:
- You feel equipped to handle challenges independently
- Your symptoms (anxiety, depression, OCD compulsions) have decreased significantly
- You're living in alignment with your values
- You have a toolbox of coping strategies that actually work
- You've processed past trauma or grief that was keeping you stuck
- Your relationships have improved
- You experience more joy and less fear in daily life
When you’re ready, we’ll transition to less frequent sessions or conclude therapy. Our door is always open if you need support in the future. Many clients return for “tune-ups” during stressful life transitions, and that’s completely normal.
