How counseling begins
Reach out
Tell us a little about what brings you here and what kind of support you are looking for.

We help connect you with a counselor whose focus and approach fit your situation.
Choose a format
Meet in our Wake Forest office or online from a private location.
Begin
Start where you are. You do not need a perfect explanation before the first conversation.
What happens in the first session?
The first session gives you and your counselor an opportunity to get oriented. You will talk about what brought you in, important parts of your story, what you have already tried, and what you hope could change. You can ask questions about the counseling process and decide how to move forward.
How long does counseling last?
That depends on the person and the work. Some concerns become clearer quickly. Other experiences have been developing for years and deserve more time. We would rather be thoughtful than promise a formula or a timeline that does not respect your actual life.
