Check the practical things
Confirm your appointment details, location or online-session instructions, and insurance or payment questions with the practice.
Make a small note if it helps
You might write down what brought you here or one question you don’t want to forget. You do not need to prepare your whole story.
Leave room for a conversation
Ask what the first session will involve and how you’ll decide on next steps together. It’s okay to say that you’re unsure.
