New Clients - Getting Started
Step 1
CONTACT ME to SCHEDULE A FREE 20-MINUTE CONSULTATION
After contacting me, you’ll receive an email with a link to schedule your free 20-minute consultation. Once your consultation is scheduled, you’ll receive an email giving you access to a brief intake questionnaire through the secure client portal. Please complete the questionnaire at least 30 minutes before your consultation so I have an opportunity to review it beforehand. If it is not completed in time, your consultation may need to be rescheduled.
During the consultation, we’ll briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, your needs and goals, and whether we may be a good fit to work together. You’ll also have an opportunity to ask questions. If we decide to move forward, I’ll review the next steps, including fees and services, and schedule your initial intake appointment, if appropriate.
Step 2
check your email
Once we’ve decided to move forward with therapy, you’ll receive another email providing access to the secure client portal. There, you’ll find the required consent forms, practice policies, and other important documents to review and complete before your first appointment.
Please complete all required documentation before your first appointment to avoid delays or the need to reschedule. You’ll also receive access to your personalized telehealth session link through the client portal.
Step 3
Preparation for Your Initial Appointment
At your scheduled appointment time, log in to your telehealth session using the personalized link provided through your client portal. Choose a quiet, private, and comfortable space where you can speak openly and minimize distractions.
During your initial session, we’ll spend time exploring your history, current concerns, experiences, strengths, and goals to help me gain a fuller understanding of you and what brings you to therapy. This information will help guide the development of an individualized treatment plan for our work together.
