First Visit

Welcome!

One Heart Counseling CenterTo help you know what you are looking for on Sepulveda, there is a Salon on the first floor of the building facing Sepulveda.  It's between the UCLA building and The Burger Lounge.

When you park, you want to go up the staircase in the front part of the building (shown above).  Our offices are on the second floor above the Salon.

Here are some photos of our offices so you have a feel for our space.

During the First Session:

At the beginning of the session, your therapist will go over limits of confidentiality and consent for treatment and answer any questions you have about therapy, our policies or logistics.

Following that, we want to give you the space to talk about what brings you to therapy.  Some people have a lot to say at first, some people have no idea where to start.

Anywhere you are on the spectrum is perfect.  Your therapist will help get what you need out of the first session.

At the end of the session, your therapist will take the last couple of minutes to check in with you about your experience of the first session so that you can have a chance to provide any feedback about what you might need or what worked for you and collaborate with you on a plan for next steps.

It is important that you provide feedback whenever you have it so that you can get the most out of your investment in therapy.

If you find that the therapist you met with might not be a perfect fit, please let us know by emailing hello@oneheartcounselingcenter.com.  We are happy to provide referrals or connect you with another therapist in our practice that might be a better match.  We want you to get the support you need in the way you need it.

Here are some helpful posts to make sure you get the most out of therapy.

We're really glad you are here.

Parking:

There is free parking in the building complex.  When you drive in the driveway, you will see parking spaces.
