In this episode of It's a Code You!, we are going to be talking about therapy. If you've never been to therapy but you're wondering what it's like, or maybe you're preparing for your first therapy appointment, this episode is for you. We'll talk about general mental health information and give you an idea of what to expect during your first session, as well as things you should keep in mind as you meet your new therapist and build a relationship.

If you have any questions, feedback or concerns please reach out to us at dhbhs.media@hitchcock.org
