How many sessions do I need?
It's really different for everyone, but you get to decide. More importantly, let's see if I'm a good fit. If I am the right fit after the first session, I recommend coming in weekly for the first few weeks.

I am nervous about coming in. What does the first session look like?
You took the first step by doing research, and you found my website. The first session is not meant to be stressful. The purpose of the first meeting is for us to get to know each other and figure out if I am the right fit. To me, relationship is key. If I give you bad vibes, you should go find someone else.
