NYC Therapy Activities: Fun Ways to Get to Know Your Therapist

Are you feeling nervous about meeting with a therapist for the first time? Don’t worry, it’s completely normal to feel that way. To help ease your nerves and get to know your therapist better, Nao Medical recommends trying out some of these fun therapy activities:

• Collaborative Drawing: Sit down with your therapist and a piece of paper and take turns drawing a picture. This activity can help you both get to know each other’s creative sides and can also be a great conversation starter.
• Play a Game: Bring in a board game or card game to play with your therapist. This can help you both relax and have fun while also getting to know each other’s personalities.
• Take a Walk: If you’re feeling cooped up in the therapy room, suggest taking a walk outside with your therapist. This can be a great way to get some fresh air and exercise while also getting to know each other better.

Remember, therapy is a collaborative process and it’s important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with. Trying out some of these fun therapy activities can help you build a stronger relationship with your therapist and make the therapy process more enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I expect during my first therapy session?
  During your first therapy session, your therapist will likely ask you some questions about your background, your current situation, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. It’s important to be honest and open with your therapist so that they can provide you with the best possible care.
• How often should I see my therapist?
  The frequency of your therapy sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some people may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may only need to come in once a month. Your therapist will work with you to determine the best schedule for your needs.
• What if I don’t feel comfortable with my therapist?
  If you don’t feel comfortable with your therapist, it’s important to speak up and let them know. Your therapist wants to provide you with the best possible care, and they can’t do that if you’re not comfortable with them. If you’re still not comfortable after talking to your therapist, you may want to consider finding a new therapist who is a better fit for you.
