Therapy looks different for everyone, but the general process includes:
Intake and rapport building phase: this is when your therapist gets to know you not just for the problem you are bringing into therapy, but for your unique history and strengths.
Assessment Phase: This is when the therapist may use formal or informal methods to understand every aspect that could be contributing to the reasons you started therapy
Treatment Planning: After the first two phases, your therapist will collaborate with you to build a treatment plan to identify specific and measurable goals and decide on. the evidence-based modality best suited for your unique needs
Interventions: This is when you will be learning new skills and challenging yourself based on what you identified as your goals in the treatment planning phase
Re-assessing Goals: This occurs periodically throughout treatment, however, nearing the end of your journey when you are close to meeting your goals, your therapist will have a conversation with you on wether you would like to create new goals or begin planning for termination of the therapeutic relationship.
