Walking through the doors of a new mental health facility can feel daunting, but it is the bravest step you can take for your well-being. At Eleve Wellness, we strive to make this initial experience as comfortable and transparent as possible. Knowing exactly what happens during that first visit helps alleviate anxiety and sets the stage for healing!
What to Expect at Your First Therapy Session
The Initial Intake Assessment
Your first session typically begins with an intake assessment, where we gather essential background information to understand your unique needs. This is not an interrogation but a compassionate conversation to ensure our mental health facility provides the right level of care.
Exploring Your Medical History
We approach your care through the lens of behavioral medicine, looking at how your physical health connects with your mental state. During this session, we will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and any past treatments. This comprehensive view allows us to build a personalized treatment plan.
Involving Your Loved Ones
Healing often ripples outward, which is why we may discuss the potential role of family counseling services early in your journey. We believe that involving a supportive network is crucial for long-term success. If appropriate, we will explore how incorporating your family into the therapeutic process can strengthen communication and rebuild trust.
Integrating Whole-Person Care
Unlike traditional clinical settings, we introduce you to our array of holistic practices right from the start. We believe in treating the spirit alongside the mind, so we will outline how modalities like yoga, meditation, and breathwork fit into your plan.
Starting therapy is a profound commitment to yourself, and you do not have to navigate it alone. At Eleve Wellness, our dedicated team is here to guide you through every phase of recovery. Reach out today!
