The Process

Step 1: Call to receive your free over-the-phone consultation.  During this call I will answer any questions you may have, collect your contact information, and schedule your first appointment.

Step 2: Attend your first session. During this time I will review your rights to confidentiality, review consents to treat, and assess your concerns, goals, and strengths in order to best make a clinical recommendation concerning your treatment.  This recommendation may be that I am able to assist you with my background, experience, and knowledge.  It may also mean directing you to another specialist who has a different method or set of skills that would be a better fit for your needs.

Step 3: Continue to attend your scheduled appointments. Research shows that therapy works best when it is consistent.  With your permission, you will receive a text or email reminder from me the day prior to your appointment. If you need to cancel, please do so at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled time. Most treatment consists of weekly or bi-weekly sessions and clients typically reach their goals in 4-12 meetings. Please keep in mind that this number varies and is based upon the client and presenting concerns that he or she hopes to address.

Step 4: Celebrate your growth! At the end of treatment, the client and therapist process the client’s journey, celebrate the client’s work and resilience, discuss resources for continued success, and make a plan for the future.
