What to Expect
The purpose of this 15-minute phone call is to help you and I determine if I am a good fit for your therapy needs. You can ask questions about me and my practice, and I will ask about your therapy needs. If we agree that I may be a good therapist fit for you, then I will send you pre-intake paperwork so you can schedule your intake.
If either of us does not believe that I am the right therapist for you, I can share referrals to help you find a therapist who might better address your concerns.
Complimentary Consultation
Intake Session
During the intake session, I will ask you to share more information about your background, current mental health concerns, and your therapy goals. I will share initial recommendations for therapy and you can decide if my recommendations fit what you are looking for.
Therapy Sessions
From there, I typically see clients weekly for 50-minute sessions. Sometimes, I may recommend meeting more often for a period of time, depending on your needs and the therapy plan. There will be ongoing assessment to make sure the therapy is meeting your needs.
