Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what to expect. As the founder and lead therapist at Therapeutic Horizons, I understand how intimidating that first step can feel. That’s why we offer a free consultation as a gentle starting point to help you explore your options without pressure. All consultations take place online, allowing you to connect from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
What is a Free Consultation?
A free consultation is a brief, no-obligation conversation with a therapist. It is an opportunity for you to get a feel for the therapist’s style, ask questions, and see if the fit feels right for your needs.
This initial conversation is not a therapy session. It is simply a chance to connect, gather information, and take the first step toward support.
What Can You Expect?
During the consultation, we’ll cover:
- What led you to consider therapy.
- Any prior experience with counseling.
- The type of support you’re looking for.
- Scheduling and availability.
- Any questions you have about the therapy process.
It’s perfectly normal if you’re unsure of your exact goals or what to ask. Many people feel this way. This is a space for exploration and comfort, not perfection.
Common Questions You Might Ask:
Here are some common questions people often ask during consultations. You’re welcome to ask these, or anything else that’s on your mind:
- What type of therapy approaches do you use?
- How can therapy help with what I’m going through?
- What happens in a typical session?
- Do you offer online therapy?
- How often would we meet?
- What if I’ve never done therapy before?
- How long does the consultation take?
You are encouraged to ask anything that will help you feel informed and confident.
No Pressure. No Commitment.
One of the most important things to know is that a consultation does not mean you are locked into anything. You are welcome to take time to reflect, explore other options, or decide not to pursue therapy at this time. Therapy is personal, and finding the right fit matters. Therapists understand this, and you will never be pressured into making a decision before you’re ready.
Final Thoughts: Taking That First Brave Step
Scheduling a free consultation is a meaningful first step toward healing. Even if you’re not fully certain about starting therapy, reaching out to ask questions is an act of self-care.
We are here to walk alongside you whenever you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing, growth, and greater well-being.
When you’re ready, we invite you to schedule your free consultation.
