If you have never been to therapy, the unknown can feel bigger than the problem that brought you in. Here is an honest look at what a first session with Affordable Behavioral Health is actually like — whether you meet in person in West Point, Kentucky, or by secure telehealth from home.
The first session is a conversation
Your first appointment is an initial assessment, which is really just a relaxed conversation. Terri will ask what brings you in, a little about your history, and what you would like to feel or do differently. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready to.
Together, you make a plan
By the end, you will have a sense of how Terri works, whether it feels like a good fit, and a first idea of the goals you might work toward. Therapy is a partnership; you help shape the direction from day one.
A few practical notes
- Paperwork is brief and handled privately before you begin.
- Telehealth is available for anyone physically located in Kentucky or Indiana; all you need is a quiet, private space and a device.
- Scheduling is by appointment, with evening and weekend times available.
- Fees are discussed openly, including self-pay and the sliding fee scale, so there are no surprises.
It is okay to feel nervous
Most people do, and that fades quickly once the conversation starts. When you are ready, request a consultation and take that first small step.
Ready when you are
If anything here resonated, reaching out is a simple first step. There is no pressure — just a conversation.
