Before you arrive

Your first session

The first session is 50 minutes, in person at the office on NW Lovejoy Street or by video if you are in Oregon. If you come with a partner, it is 80 minutes. You talk about what brought you here, what you hope for, and how sessions run.

You do not need to prepare anything. Dr. Oglesby explains how privacy works and its limits, and how fees and scheduling work. You can say as much or as little as you like, and at the end you decide whether to book another.

What happens

A first session, step by step

  1. 01

    Arriving

    The office is on the second floor, with a waiting area and a quiet room. You can arrive a few minutes early, and bring a partner if you wish.

  2. 02

    Talking

    You say what brought you here and what you hope will be different. You can go slowly, and you can stay quiet.

  3. 03

    How it works

    Dr. Oglesby explains how privacy works and its limits, how scheduling works, and how fees and receipts work.

  4. 04

    Deciding

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