What to Expect
Beginning therapy can bring up a lot of feelings — hope, uncertainty, relief, nervousness, or all of the above. That is completely normal.
At Loving Circle Counseling, we aim to make the process feel as comfortable, clear, and supportive as possible from the very beginning.
Getting Started
The first step is reaching out through our contact form or consultation request. From there, our care coordinator will help gather some basic information, answer questions, and support you in taking the next step.
We’ll work to connect you with a therapist who feels like a good fit for your needs, preferences, and scheduling availability.
Your First Appointment
Your first session is a chance to begin getting to know your therapist and to share what is bringing you in. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting.
Together, you and your therapist will begin exploring:
what has been feeling difficult
what support you are looking for
your goals for therapy
what pace feels right for you
There is no pressure to share everything all at once. Therapy is a process, and we move with care.
Our Approach
We provide trauma-informed therapy rooted in compassion, safety, and genuine human connection. Our clinicians may draw from approaches such as EMDR, IFS-informed work, CBT, mindfulness, and other evidence-based practices depending on your needs and goals.
We believe therapy should feel supportive, grounded, and tailored to you — not one-size-fits-all.
In-Person and Virtual Sessions
We offer both in-person and virtual therapy options, depending on clinician availability and what works best for your situation.
A Note About Fit
A strong therapeutic relationship matters. We do our best to help connect you with the right therapist, and if it ever feels like another provider may be a better fit, we will support that process with care and honesty.
You Don’t Have to Have It All Figured Out
Many people begin therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, anxious, or simply aware that something needs to change. You do not need to have the perfect words or a clear starting point. You are welcome to begin exactly where you are.
