Question 1

What should I expect at my first session?

Accepted Answer

My first priority is your peace of mind so, I work hard to ensure that you feel comfortable, safe, and heard.  Our first session will be focused on gathering information, getting to know one another, buidling rapport, and exploring your unique situation. If you are uncomfortable sharing openly, I'll ask questions.  If you have a lot to share, I'm all ears.
 
I am a client-centered therapist who believes in allowing the client to set the tone of our sessions. I accept clients for who they are and provide support and care no matter what they are facing or experiencing. By creating a climate of unconditional positive regard and support, I strive to empower my clients to be able to express their truth without fear of rejection.
 
If you are in crisis, our first session will focus on crisis intervention, ensuring saftey, providing resources, and exploring alternatives. 
 
All sessions are currently done virutally through a HIPAA-secure video platform due to COVID-19.  You will be given a link prior to your session time which can be accessed through your computer, phone, or tablet.

Question 4

Can I be your "friend" on social media?"

Please follow Saged Feather on Instagram & Saged Feather Counseling & Wellness on Facebook and Pinterest!  Links are on my homepage at the bottom. 
 
However, due to confidentiality laws and ethical codes, a mental health therapist is not permitted to "friend", "follow", "add", or "like" clients on social media sites.
