What are 3-5 priority issues/top concerns that you're hoping to address in therapy?

-You can describe what you are specifically hoping to change, e.g. 'I want to feel less anxious around others'. -It might help to imagine and describe what it would look and feel like for you if therapy is successful. 'I am able to enjoy feeling calm and connected around others'.

-How would someone who really knows you describe your strengths? -You could also share something about you or your life that makes you feel proud, such as a challenge you have overcome, the way you show up for your family, etc.

-What are your go-to ways for managing stress or challenging times? Everyone copes differently and we're all doing our best to get by. Some coping strategies are considered 'healthy' and others might have some negative stigma, but please know that I'm not here to judge what makes you feel better. I'm here to understand how I may best be of support.
