What should I bring to therapy?

1 minute Written by Mental Health Match

You do not have to bring anything to therapy except an openness to learn about yourself (and a form of payment). 

You can bring a journal and a pen if you want to write down your insights during your session, although most therapists will have tools for you to write with if you would like them. For your first session, your therapist may ask you to bring some insurance information or other information such as psychological tests, list of medications, or health history.
