Curious About Starting Therapy? Here’s the first three steps:
01.
If therapy interests you I would be happy to support you in figuring out what types of services would work best for you!​​
​
The first step would be to schedule a free of charge 15-minute consultation call where we can discuss your goals for seeking therapy and ensure we are a good fit!
​
02.
Intake Session
During our first session, called the 'intake,' we'll take some time to get to know each other. This is a chance for me to hear about what’s bringing you in, what you hope to achieve, and any questions you might have about therapy.
​
Think of it as setting the foundation for our work together. In this intake session, we'll talk about your goals, and I’ll ask about your experiences, relationships, and what’s going on in your life right now. We’ll create a plan based on what’s important to you. I’ll share some ideas about approaches we might take, but we’ll decide on the direction together.
03.
After our initial intake session, we’ll move into the heart of therapy, whether you’re coming in for individual support, relationship counseling, or working through life’s challenges as a teen. (See "Services" Tab for more details)
​
No matter the focus, I approach therapy as a partnership. My goal is to help you connect with your own insights and strengths so you can live more authentically.
