Having an outcome conversation with your therapist in Modesto is very important. Why? Consider how much time, energy, effort, and financial investment goes into your therapy process. You might participate in therapy for a few months or years. It is important to make that time as valuable as possible. So, let’s dive into what an outcome conversation is and chat about some of the benefits.

 

What does an outcome conversation with your Therapist in Modesto entail?

An outcome conversation can be structured or unstructured. As a therapist, I often use unstructured questions as a way to check in with you during ongoing sessions. An example might be, “How was a session for you today?” or “Did you get what you needed from the session today? A structured approach can include sending you a worksheet with specific questions to explore different aspects of your experience in therapy. This is a great opportunity to assess what is or isn’t working. We can gain some great insight into what we want to do more of and what we want to do less of or not do all.
