A psychotherapist from our team will work with you to make sure you feel supported throughout the entire process.
If you have never attended a session with a psychotherapist, you might not know what to expect, which could cause you to put off making the appointment. However, at Wings of the Future, we strive to ease your concerns from the start, ensuring you get the best possible care and feel confident moving forward.
When you contact us, we will start with an initial consultation that explores current issues as well as historical information. If you have been referred to us through the court system or Child Protective Services, we might have some information in hand, but we always like to see things from your perspective so we can set you up with the appropriate psychotherapist.
From there, an appointment for your first session will be scheduled—and while we understand this can be stressful, you can rest assured that the therapists on our team will not press you to talk about the things you’re not quite ready to discuss. Instead, the psychotherapist will work to make you feel anchored and supported, understanding that healing cannot occur without a sense of safety.
Another important component of our program is choice and control. We know that trauma frequently results in a loss of power, so our therapists strive to restore your feeling of agency. You’ll be invited to make goals together, decide which topics are manageable, and stop or change direction if something becomes overwhelming.
You can also anticipate education and transparency, including why specific tactics are used, how trauma responses function, and what emotions are expected. By gaining an understanding of these things, you’re better able to overcome challenges and gain a greater understanding of your own habits, emotions, and coping techniques.
