Individual Therapy - Initial Therapy Consultation
Prioritizing your mental wellness by starting therapy services, is a BIG step!
This step naturally comes with lots of questions. Here is what you can expect during our initial consultation:
1. Schedule your 15-minute initial consultation
Once you schedule, I will send you a brief questionnaire that will need to be completed prior to confirming your consultation.
Schedule A Consultation2. The initial consultation
During your initial consultation, we will have the opportunity to explore the main things that are bringing you into treatment and how they are impacting you. We will identify how you would like to feel and show up for yourself. This allows me to assess and determine how working together can help you reach your goals.
Take Note: the initial consultation is NOT therapy you will not receive a diagnosis.
3. What happens after the initial consultation?
We move forward together as client and therapist. If it is determined by both parties that I am best suited to work with you, we will set up a day and time to complete your initial clinical evaluation (therapy session where we take a deep dive into the issues discussed on your initial consult call).
4. What if we are not a good fit?
I will refer you to another mental health professional. Should it be determined by either party that I am not the best clinician to partner with you to meet your needs, don’t worry. I can refer you to a colleague who can help get you to where you want and deserve to be.
5. Why can't you treat everyone?
Just as physicians have many different specialties, psychotherapists specialize in many different diagnoses. Not every issue related to your mental or emotional wellness is created equal; thus, they need to be treated by a specialist to yield the best results. It is more important to me that you heal optimally, even if not with me.
