The preliminary interview during the first session with a client, also known as the intake interview, serves as a critical foundation for establishing a therapeutic relationship and understanding the client’s unique needs.

The term “presenting problem” refers to the main issue or challenge that brought the client to therapy, and it serves as a focal point for understanding their needs and tailoring subsequent sessions accordingly.

Replace the placeholder X in this list of questions with your client’s presenting problem.
