This is the BEST video so far on how to structure that first meet and intake. Thank you!

As a trainee therapist, I think this video was super helpful. Looking forward to more such content! Thank you!

you got this! every therapist's first session is a little nerve-racking. we've all been there

I love that intro consultation questionnaire idea I would love an example of it

I'm finishing my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in December and I'm weighing getting a Psy.D like you have, but what was your process of deciding to go that route? Maybe explain your motivation when you were thinking of going that route

Very informative and helpful. Thank you. Please post more videos. Also, what is a good Ct portal platform you find useful?

Great video for new therapist. Where does a new therapist get these eforms?

so glad it helped! the EMR system you have will sometimes supply you with forms that you can edit to your liking. I'd suggest taking a look at your ethics code for your state to ensure that you have everything in those notes that are needed (i.e., date of service, diagnosis, etc) and to know how quickly you're required to get your notes in. also, if you work for a company or group practice, they likely have a policy / notes in general, but in private practice i usually rely on the ethics code for that (at least for psychologists, not sure if other disciplines are similar). another option is to chat with any colleagues or supervisors who have their own forms to see if you like those, too. welcome to the field!

Question: I’ve been seeing a therapist for about 4 sessions now and we’ve kinda just been doing “exercises” for them to get to know me but I came to him with a particular issue/ goal which I explained in the beginning. We haven’t touched on the goal really at all - I don’t know if he just needs to get to know me first? Is it appropriate for me to bring this up this soon? Would love any advice.

I have my first session this week. Super nervous.

you got this!!

How do you deal with folks who move from one therapist to the next bc of maybe the first visit seems like more answering questions and less venting. But if they keep doing this, the never get past the intake phase. Also for online therapy, often dont have the 15 min initial call, so just messaging maybe then x amt sessions per month.

i hate that first session. so annoying to get through... well it all started with... blah-blah-blah
