Emily,
Try not to worry!. You will be asked questions on how your feeling, what is your home life like, your school life like and things to that nature!. The best thing you can do is be open and as honest as you can!. If something else is bothering you that was not addressed, let the Therapist know!. If you forget something don't worry you can bring it up next time!. Sometimes I write things down before I go so I don't forget!. If your not comfortable answering something, just tell your Therapist your not comfortable answering that question, it's OK!. Maybe later you can get to that topic when your ready!. There is no right or wrong answer!. Just say what you feel comfortable with!.
Your mom will not be in the room unless you all agree to that!. But that would come later!. As for meds, that's for you and your parents to decide, if that's what they suggest!. That would be decided with another kind of doctor!. About sharing things with your mom that would be on a need to know basis!. Your sessions are private!. If you still not sure it doesn't hurt to ask!. Those are all good questions!.Try not to worry and get some rest!.
Take care and don't give up!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not sure what they will ask you but you don't have to answer anything you don't want to!. I am pretty sure that your mom will not be in the room unless you want her to and they will only tell your mom what she needs to know!. Like if you are depressed and what meds you will have to take and some things that she may be able to do to help you get better!.
Don't be afraid there are too many people out there suffering because they don't have the strength to go to a dr!. At least you are trying to get better!. That is a good thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Being 13 is tough in that people rarely take you seriously!. You sound pretty smart to me so here's what you do:
You tell the therapist what you want to tell them!. You tell him/her why you won't tell them anything else!. If they get stroppy, find a different therapist!.
They should absolutely not put you on anti-depressants!. However, they might try and put you on Prozac!. If so, I strongly recommend you tell them to stop drugging kids and (again) find a different therapist!.
A few therapists are really good!. Most aren't!. So trust your instincts, tell people only what you want to tell them and don't back down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think you'll have to take meds unless you're very depressed!. You can ask your mom to go in there with you if you want

A good therapist will talk to you about what you think is troubling you and try to assist you in working out those issues!. They should NOT prescribe any antidepressants unless you have a severe mental disorder (you don't) or are suicidal!.
If you don't want to answer, ask yourself why that is--this person keeps things between you and discloses to no one else!. You can however say you don't want to answer whatever may bother you--it's your right!.
Your mother will not be in the room, unless you want her to be there!. You can tell your mom whatever you want!.
I suggest you take this time seriously, to help yourself and move on once you have figured out what is going on!.
Just because you can't sleep because you have a lot on your mind does not mean you are depressed!. It means you have to start taking control of your life and realize there is a time to sleep and a time to deal with life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't panic
Ask your therapist these questions before you start although ill give you an idea of what they will tell you straight away
They wont ask you anything, sounds werid but you will do more telling than them asking its not going to be like a session of questions it will be more gental conversation
And if you arent comfortable answering it you dont have to they wont be offended
No you mom doesnt have to be in the room although she can be if you wish at any time, also no they cant say anything to your mom!.
Dont worry chick you'll be fineWww@Answer-Health@Com
