One thing that makes Restored Wellness Counseling special is the wide range of therapy services we offer in the Greater Sacramento area and throughout California. We have a therapist for just about everything. To find out how we can better help you, please contact Restored Wellness Counseling today.

When starting therapy, it’s very common to feel nervous. It can feel intimidating to sit with someone and talk about how you feel. Therapy is a space where you can be yourself and bring up whatever is going on for you, including feeling nervous. Our therapists are committed to finding a way to care for your nervousness and ensure sessions are as comfortable as possible.

The total duration of therapy varies from client to client. Some of our clients find 3-6 weeks to be enough to resolve immediate challenges. While other clients feel more supported by longer-term therapy. You can work together with your therapist to find the length of time that works for you.

Overall, you can think of the first session as a free-flowing conversation through which you and your therapist can start getting to know each other. Your therapist will invite you to share more about yourself, and you can also share what’s worked or not worked for your mental health in the past. Some questions that your therapist may ask during a first session include:

• What brought you to therapy?
• What goals would you like to reach by going to therapy?
• What do I need to know about you to understand your current challenges?

The most important part of a first session is to notice how you feel during and after the session. If you feel supported, seen, and at ease with your therapist, you can discuss if you’d like to meet again.

Restored Wellness Counseling has a wide range of therapists to choose from. Our clients can either choose to work directly with one of our Independently Licensed Therapists or work with an Associate Therapist who is supervised by an Independently Licensed Therapist. There is a separate hourly rate for both. Please check out our Rates & Insurance page to learn more.
