Getting Started

  • Schedule your free 20 minute phone consultation through the Client Portal that provides personal and confidential access between you and your therapist.

  • We will send you a follow up e-mail with a brief questionnaire. Your answers will help us understand the reasons you are seeking services.

Initial Phone Consultation

  • During our phone consultation, we will have an interactive dialogue, and we will answer any questions you may have. At the conclusion of our consultation, we will decide together if this is a good therapeutic fit for you.

  • We will then schedule your initial face-to-face or tele-health visit. If it is determined that we are not a good fit, we will provide referrals to three other therapists in the area by e-mail who may be a better match for you.

Before your First Appointment

  • We will send you an e-mail with a questionnaire for you to complete and administrative forms to sign 24 to 48 hours prior to our initial visit through the Client Portal.

  • While completing the questionnaire, you may be thinking, “Why in the world do they need all my personal information now?” The information you provide will assist us in completing a comprehensive assessment that will assist in helping you reach your goals. Nevertheless, you are free to share as little or as much as you wish on these forms.

During our First Session

  • We will review our practice policies, review your completed questionnaire, and more importantly you will have to opportunity to expand on your answers, and voice any questions or concerns you may have. We may also have follow-up questions to clarify your answers on the questionnaire. Asking us questions can feel intimidating, but open and honest communication is the key to a healthy therapeutic relationship. We hope this dialogue ultimately helps your healing process.

  • The first session will be 75 minutes. Follow up sessions will last 50 minutes.
