I'm ready! What should I do now?
The first step to begin our work together is to schedule a quick phone consultation. This allows us to get to know each other a bit, and gives you a chance to get a feel for my therapeutic style and answer any questions you may have. We can also figure out the logistics, like your availability for appointments and insurance.
Next, our office manager will reach out to you to verify your insurance so there are no financial surprises. We do our best to make sure client's understand the cost of therapy before they make a commitment.
Lastly, the final step is to complete the intake paperwork. There will be a few forms emailed to you for you to fill out before your first session. This shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to fill out. Once those forms are completed, you will receive a link 24 hours before your appointment and you will be ready to attend your first session!
