Let’s be honest—when it comes to therapy, the first session can feel like the biggest mountain to climb.
Your brain is spinning with questions:
What do I say? What if I cry? What if I don’t cry? What if they think I’m too much? Or not enough? Do I lay down? Do I vent? Do I need a diagnosis? What if it’s awkward?
(Pause. Deep breath. You’re not alone.)
At The Pursuit, we’re here to walk with you through every single one of those questions—and we promise, the first session is not a test. It’s an invitation.
So… What Actually Happens?
Your first session is about one thing: connection.
We’re not jumping straight into trauma or peeling back layers you’re not ready to touch. This is about getting to know you—your story, your goals, your pace.
Here’s what that might look like:
- You show up (in person or virtually)—maybe a little nervous, maybe a little curious.
- We welcome you with zero judgment—no pressure, no “fixing,” no checklist.
- We ask some questions to understand what’s bringing you in and how we can support you best.
- You share what you want, how you’re feeling, or even, “I don’t know where to start.” (That’s valid. That’s enough.)
- We explore what therapy could look like for you—your goals, your comfort level, your pace.
And then? You leave with a little more clarity. A little less pressure. And hopefully, a whole lot of relief that you finally took that first step.
It’s Not About Getting It All Out—It’s About Getting Started.
You don’t have to bring your entire story. You don’t have to know the “right” words. You don’t have to be ready for everything.
You just have to be ready for something—even if that something is, “I think I need support.”
This first session is the start of building a relationship that’s rooted in safety, honesty, and trust. We’re not here to fix you. We’re here to walk with you, ask the right questions, and hold space for the parts of you that deserve to breathe.
What You Won’t Get:
🚫 A judgmental stare.
🚫 A clipboard checklist of your flaws.
🚫 Someone digging for trauma you’re not ready to touch.
🚫 A cold, clinical vibe that makes you feel like a case file.
Nope. Not here.
What You Will Get:
✅ A warm, human connection.
✅ A space to be real, messy, unsure, hopeful, quiet, or expressive.
✅ A therapist who wants to understand, not diagnose and dash.
✅ A next step that feels like progress—not pressure.
Bottom Line?
Your first session isn’t about saying everything—it’s about starting something.
And if you’re even reading this far? You’re already closer than you think.
