Your first visit to NJ & NYC Centers for Counseling establishes a vital foundation for our relationship with you. Finding the right mental health professional is a very personal matter. In addition to confirming requisite qualifications, it is important for an individual to feel comfortable with their therapist - to experience trust, acceptance, and understanding. The initial consultation is not only an opportunity to describe your reasons for seeking treatment, it is also when you can assess your rapport with a therapist, perhaps the most important factor in successful treatment.
