Others have been right where you are now and have profited by putting in the persistent work to get the victory of a thriving life.  Here are some of the invaluable benefits of therapy/counseling: emotional relief, new insights and perspectives into your problems that held you stuck, enhanced relational skills, improved problem solving skills, effective ways to manage emotions and self-defeating thoughts, professional support,  healing from the past, boost in self confidence and self worth, better overall health. Therapy/counseling is not a quick fix, it may take more than one session to start seeing results, but the benefits far outweigh the problems.

 So you have decided to take the first bold step to book a session - now what? It is normal to be curious, hesitant or nervous about what will happen in your first session. Typically, the first session will be different from subsequent set of sessions. During our initial session, we will get to know each other and you will decide whether or not your therapist will be a good fit for you. You will identify the problem(s) you want to work  on  and create your treatment goals/outcomes. This process will also include a review of  initial paperwork, policies and procedures.  The opportunity is yours to ask  your therapist(s) questions relating to the therapeutic process or to obtain any other relevant information you may need. You can choose to schedule an online session with either Dr. Trahern LaFavor or Norlene LaFavor, LMFT or both for a con-joint session.
