Initial
Consultation
The initial consultation is a 15-minute conversation designed to help you decide whether working together feels like a good fit. It’s a space for you to briefly share what brings you here, ask questions, and get a sense of how we work.
Not only is this consultation complimentary, but it also serves as an important first step, no matter which counseling direction you decide to take. Its purpose is to ensure preparedness and alignment at the start of our work together.
More importantly, this conversation is not therapy and doesn’t require any preparation. It’s simply a chance to connect, clarify what you’re looking for, and see whether this feels like the right fit for you.
What to Expect During Those 15 Minutes.
The 15-minute consultation is offered complimentary to provide a simple, low-pressure opportunity to connect before scheduling a full session. It allows us to briefly discuss your needs and consider whether the services offered at The Emotion Studio may be helpful for you. The intention is to offer clarity and guidance as you explore the next steps that feel most appropriate.
1. Understanding what brings you here.
We’ll start by talking briefly about what’s been going on for you and what prompted you to reach out. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
2. Exploring the support you’re looking for.
We’ll discuss what you’re hoping to get from therapy or consultation, your current concerns and goals, and what kind of support would feel most helpful for you at this point in your life.
3. Getting to know our approach.
You’ll have the opportunity to learn about how we work, our therapeutic approaches, and whether our style and focus align with your needs and preferences.
4. Clarifying our next steps.
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll discuss potential next steps and practical details together. If not, we can thoughtfully explore alternative options or referrals that may better support you.
