What to Expect From Anxiety Therapy at Novara Counseling

During our first session, we will have a chance to get to know you, learn about what you are struggling with and why you have come into therapy. Based on that, together we will develop a plan for your therapy. Our clients usually start observing changes in their relationship with their anxious thoughts during the first few therapy sessions, but every person is different and the progress rate varies. We'll check in regularly on what's working and adjust as needed, so therapy continues to feel relevant and useful to your life.
