INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

WHAT TO EXPECT

How do I schedule an appointment?  Please contact me directly to find an appointment time that fits your schedule.  You can reach me through call, text, email or the contact form at the bottom of the home page on this site.

How do I get started?  Once we have scheduled your initial appointment, you will complete an intake form, online through my patient portal, prior to the appointment.  This form will help me gather basic information about your current symptoms, family history and goals for our work together.  During our first appointment we will review some additional forms, take care of housekeeping/logistic needs, review your completed intake form, discuss your needs and hopes for our work together and most importantly, get to know each other!  Please note, payment is expected at beginning of session.

​

What's Next?  To get started, I recommend you attend weekly sessions.  This is helpful for three reasons.  First, it allows us to build a solid, therapeutic relationship; which is what I believe is the foundation for our work together. Second, it gives me adequate time to gain an understanding of your current needs and make a clinical recommendation about what frequency would be most appropriate on an ongoing basis.  Lastly, it gives you an opportunity to see how weekly sessions feel so you can also provide input when we discuss future treatment needs.
