FIRST VISIT INFORMATION

We understand that a first visit to a therapist can be anxiety-provoking and we strive to help our clients feel as comfortable as possible.  Should you have any questions about what may happen during your first session, please do not hesitate to ask!  Typically, we ask clients to describe what has prompted them to initiate therapy and what goals they have for treatment. We also gather as much relevant background information as possible, while allowing time to tell you how we feel we can work together most effectively and giving you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.  

If your visit will occur via telehealth, you will receive an email invitation to the session from your provider in advance, typically the day before the session. If you have not received an invitation by the morning of your appointment, please check your Spam folder and call or email your provider if you are not able to locate it. 

If your visit will occur in person, please alert us by pushing the appropriate button in the waiting room when you arrive. While we do our very best to be on time, occasionally unavoidable circumstances may cause us to run a few minutes behind schedule.  If that occurs, we sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience. We look forward to meeting you!

We require 48 hours notice of a cancellation or reschedule request for intake sessions.  Your $50 deposit will be forfeited should you cancel your appointment without sufficient notice. Otherwise, your deposit will be applied toward the fee for your intake.  

                    FORMS

You will receive forms via encrypted email that must be completed prior to your intake session, including a credit card authorization form.
