A therapy intake occurs in the first appointment, where you gather background information about your client. The questions you ask in the first appointment with a new client help you understand the clients presenting problems and find targets and symptoms to focus on in future therapy sessions.
Ideally, the therapeutic relationship has a clear starting point and ending point. It progresses through the four stages outlined above: commitment, process, change, and termination.
In your first therapy sessions, youll talk about your reasons for coming to therapy. Youll talk about whats been going on in your life that is painful, difficult, or at least not working as well as youd like. Youll talk about things you want to change and any goals you might have.
The APA Code, Standard 10.08(a), states: Psychologists do not engage in sexual intimacies with former clients/patients for at least two years after cessation or termination of therapy. This is the first part of the 2-year rule.
The First Session Help clients feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. Go over informed consent to counselling. Role induction, discuss expectations, the pros/cons of any previous therapy experience that may inform how we work together now. Start building the alliance and help them see if youre a good fit.
