Important Instructions for New Clients
Please complete the contact information and note your preference for a therapist. We take your thoughts and needs into consideration as well as scheduling availability when matching you with a therapist for an intake appointment.
Once we confirm via email which therapist can meet with you for an intake session, we will email you with instructions to schedule online.
Within the client portal, please review and sign the informed consent as well as complete any additional forms. Completing the forms within the client portal before your session will help us be more efficient regarding time. Our intake sessions are 50 minutes. Our goal is to use the majority of the session hearing things from your perspective and developing a treatment plan.
Many people feel nervous for their first session. Please arrive at your appointment 10-15 minutes before your scheduled session time. Planning to arrive early helps ease the stress of finding a new place. Once you arrive, please make yourself comfortable. We have restrooms and guest wifi available to you while you wait.
After you schedule your appointment online, you will have access to our online, HIPAA compliant, client portal where you can complete forms before your first session (e.g., informed consent and questionnaire), schedule and reschedule appointments, as well as send and receive messages from your therapist.
Note: Please do not select "I am an Existing Client" if you are new and we have not confirmed which therapist is conducting your intake session. Doing so reduces our response time. Our goal is to respond to everyone within a reasonable time frame with care.
