Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Coverage Parity laws require most health plans to apply similar rules to mental health benefits as they do for medical/surgical benefits. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions of your insurance provider:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

Attending your first therapy session can feel both exciting and nerve-wracking, but it's a positive step towards addressing your concerns and improving your well-being. Here's what you can generally expect during your first therapy session:

1. Getting to know each other: The therapist will take some time to introduce themselves and explain their approach to therapy. They may ask you some questions to get to know you better, such as your background, current situation, and what brings you to therapy.

2. Setting goals and expectations: You'll have the opportunity to discuss your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve. The therapist may also outline what you can expect from the therapy process, including confidentiality, the frequency of sessions, and any homework assignments or exercises.

3. .Assessment: Depending on your reasons for seeking therapy, the therapist may conduct a formal assessment to gather more information about your concerns, symptoms, and strengths. This assessment helps the therapist better understand your needs and tailor their approach to fit you.

4. Building rapport: Building a trusting and supportive relationship with your therapist is crucial for successful therapy outcomes. Your first session is an opportunity to start developing rapport with your therapist, so feel free to ask questions, express any concerns, and be honest about your thoughts and feelings.

5. Discussing next steps: Towards the end of the session, you and your therapist will likely discuss next steps, such as scheduling future appointments, setting up a treatment plan, or exploring different therapy modalities that may be helpful for you.

6. Reflection: After the session, take some time to reflect on your experience. Consider how you felt during the session, whether you connected with the therapist, and if you feel comfortable continuing therapy with them.

Remember, it's normal to feel a mix of emotions before and during your first therapy session, but know that therapists are trained professionals who are there to support you.

Therapy session lengths can vary depending on the therapist's approach, the client's needs, and the therapeutic setting. However, typical therapy sessions usually range from 45 to 60 minutes in length. This duration allows enough time for the therapist and client to establish rapport, discuss concerns, explore thoughts and feelings, and work towards therapeutic goals effectively.
