What to Expect 

Call 859-442-8439 to Schedule
Seeking counseling or mental health support for the first time can feel overwhelming—and that’s completely normal. At Viewpoint Psychological Services, we understand that taking this first step is both courageous and important. Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable and supported as possible from the moment you walk through our doors.
A big part of easing those initial nerves is knowing what to expect. Below, you’ll find helpful information about your first appointment:
​

Your initial session is scheduled for 60 minutes to give us ample time to get to know you, gather your history, and understand your current needs. Follow-up appointments are typically 55 minutes, unless otherwise arranged.
We encourage you to arrive a few minutes early, so we can begin promptly and make the most of your time. We strive to start and end sessions on time out of respect for your schedule and to ensure we stay on track for all our clients.
Picture
​Before your first appointment, there are a few forms to complete. It's best to fill these out ahead of time so you can focus fully on their session once you arrive, and so your therapist can review your information before the session. The forms will be sent to you through our secure Client Portal for convenient completion at home. If you prefer to complete them in person, please plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early for your appointment.
In most cases, the client—or the parent(s)/guardian(s), if the client is a minor—should plan to attend the first session. You’re welcome to bring another adult for support, but we may ask them to wait in the reception area so we can focus on getting to know you directly.

Please do not bring small children to your appointment. We do not offer child care, and their presence can be distracting, limiting the time and attention you are able to give to the session.
​

If you are a parent or guardian seeking services for your child, we typically ask that your child not attend the initial appointment unless this has been arranged in advance. This gives you the space to share concerns openly, without placing stress or worry on your child.
Picture
At your first appointment, you can expect to meet with a warm and compassionate therapist who will take the time to understand your unique experiences, concerns, and goals. Together, you’ll begin to explore what type of care and support will be most helpful for you.
At the end of the session, you’ll have the opportunity to schedule a follow-up appointment—if it feels like a good fit. If not, we’re happy to explore other treatment options with you. At Viewpoint Psychological Services, your voice matters—your preferences and comfort are always central to the treatment process.
Many clients leave their first appointment feeling a sense of relief and greater ease about starting therapy—often sharing that they wish they had taken this step sooner.


Note: There is no smoking in or around our office buildings.
