What is therapy like?
What is therapy like?
Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals. It is standard for therapists to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your life during therapy sessions. It is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts around fifty minutes. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth.
There may be times when you are asked to take certain actions outside of the therapy sessions, such as reading a relevant book or keeping records to track certain behaviors. It is important to process what has been discussed and integrate it into your life between sessions. For therapy to be most effective, you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions.
Here are some things you can expect out of therapy at Magnolia Counseling & Wellness:
Compassion, respect and understanding
Reverence for, and commitment to, healthy relationships
Perspectives to illuminate persistent patterns and negative feelings
Real strategies for enacting positive change
Effective and proven techniques along with practical guidance

What can I expect at my first appointment?
Our office is located in the Magnolia Landmark building on the third floor. After scheduling your appointment, we'll send a confirmation email and text with some instructions so you'll know exactly where to go.
Before your first appointment, you'll be asked to fill out a few forms and add a payment method to your TherapyAppointment profile. When you arrive for your session, your counselor will meet you and walk you to our office. You can expect some time spent discussing your forms as well as what to expect from our practice. We'll walk you through how we operate and get to know more about you and what you're goals are for participating in counseling.
At the end of your appointment, you and your counselor will discuss frequency of your sessions and schedule out the next or next few appointments. If you leave your first appointment with any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!
