Before you arrive
Your first session
The first session is 80 minutes, in person at the office on Belmont Street. Both of you sit with your therapist and talk about what brought you in, what each of you would like from the work, and how sessions run.
You do not need to prepare anything. Your therapist explains how privacy works, including how something one partner shares alone is handled, and how fees and scheduling work. At the end, you decide whether to book another.

Deciding
If it feels right, you book the next session. If not, you have lost only the hour, and your therapist can suggest where else to look.
