Other items to bring to your first session

 

Insurance cards
Contact your insurance company ahead of time to make sure you have adequate mental health insurance coverage. Call the number on the back of your insurance card to check. If there is a specific number associated with mental health insurance, call that number first. If your insurance company provides you with a pre-certification number, bring that to your first visit as well (not everyone will have this, so it’s okay if you don’t!).

Questions
Whether this is your first time seeking counseling or not, it’s likely that you will have questions. We encourage you to take a look at our FAQ section for questions about therapy in general, and if you have questions related to your specific situation, please bring them with you to your first session. We’ve found it’s helpful for you to write these questions down, especially if they’re related to concerns you have when you’re feeling bad, because you may forget them or feel differently on the day of your visit.

  • Personal history – may or may not apply
    You may have journals, sketchbooks or other items that you feel would be valuable to our discussion — if you are comfortable doing so, please feel free to bring them with you.

  • Family history – may or may not apply
    If there is any information related to your family’s medical and psychiatric history that you feel is important, please bring it with you.

  • IEP and report cards – may or may not apply
    For child and adolescent visits, please bring these items as well as any teacher checklists.

Take the first step toward a happier, healthier you

The process of change is not without risk, which is why we often avoid change in the first place. It has the potential to be stressful and painful at times, and you may experience periods of very intense feelings. We will work through these feelings together. In counseling, we will discover ways to help you realistically look at your current life situation, as well as your thinking and belief systems.
