| Scheduling your first appointment Most people call for an initial appointment for counseling for themselves or someone in their family. We will ask you about the nature of the problem, whether your insurance company needs to be contacted before the first session, and who will be included in the first session. The first session lasts about an hour which includes a few minutes of paper work, including gathering information about your insurance company. Then Dr. Barnhill will meet with you for about 45-50 minutes.
What to expect at your first appointment At the first session, you will be asked about the problem or concern, and also be asked about what you have tried to do about it what works and what doesnt. After getting some background information, we will develop a plan so that you will know how we will approach the problem by the end of the session, and how many sessions may be involved.
