Phone Consultations
Each therapist provides a free 10 minute phone consultation in order to help both you and us know if we will be a good fit, therapeutically. Please contact us to schedule this phone time.
Paperwork
Before their first appointment, we ask clients to sign consent forms and complete a few assessments, along with an intake form.
First Session: Beginning
Your first session will be 60 minutes long. The first 10 minutes we will cover disclosure and consent to treatment forms, our style as a therapist, and what to expect from us during therapy.
First Session: Continued
For the remainder of the first session we will spend time gathering information about: your history, what brought you to therapy, and begin to discuss what goals you might have.
Subsequent Sessions
All subsequent sessions, will be 50 minutes long. Please help your therapist end on time for the next client by beginning to wrap up your session around the 45 minute mark.
Frequency
You and your therapist will collaborate to decide how frequently to schedule sessions. This is based on several factors: severity of symptoms/issues, scheduling, and financial capacity of the client.
Discharge Plan
When you feel that all of your goals have been met, you and your therapist can begin to discuss a discharge plan that leaves you with the most possibility for continued success.
