Therapy "Menu"

Not everyone wants the same things. But it is helpful to have an outline of what is possible right from the start.

Here are some things that people have chosen to work on in the past. You don't have to feel like you have to do all of these, nor start at any one particular place. But like in a restaurant, you probably can't order the whole menu at one time. It's helpful to make some preliminary choices. Use this list to help you focus on what is important to you. (Here's a PDF version of this "menu", if you'd like to print it out.)
