Getting Started

“When I look at the world I’m pessimistic,

but when I look at people I’m optimistic.”

​— Carl Rogers

GETTING STARTED WITH SERVICES

It’s really easy to get started with therapy services.  Just follow these easy steps.
COMPLETE THE CONTACT FORM

The contact form will provide me with a little bit of information to get started.  Some things to include in this are your reasons for coming to therapy and what you’d like to accomplish through therapy.  This will allow me to be better prepared for your free consultation.

I am offering a free 15 minute consultation.  This will allow you to get to know me and to determine if this would be the best fit for you.  Just click below to request an appointment, choose a day and pick a time to schedule your free consultation.  This will be sent to my calendar, and I will call you.

SCHEDULE YOUR FIRST SESSION

After the consultation, the next step is to schedule your 1st session.  This may also be done during your free consultation.  If you’re ready to jump right in without a free consultation, that option is available too.  To schedule your 1st session, just click below.  This will take you to my appointment calendar.  You’ll be able to see my available session days and times.  Just follow the prompts in it and remember to choose “Initial Intake Appointment” for your first session.

COMPLETE YOUR CONSENT FORMS

I will be notified when you schedule your free 15 minute consultation and “Initial Intake Appointment.”  Next, a client portal will be created for you.  This will allow you to view your contact information to make sure it is correct.  You will also be able to access my consent forms.  Most people don’t like filling out paperwork and nobody likes to be rushed while completing it.  That’s why I made this process as simple and easy for you as possible.  Just click on each consent form, review it, electronically sign it and submit it.  This lets us get all the boring paperwork out of the way and gives you the leisure of completing it before your session.  However, I will need these completed before we can begin our sessions.

MAKING PAYMENTS

Making payments couldn’t be easier.  I utilize a safe and secure system to process payments.  When making payments, you have a few options that you can choose from.  You can make payments yourself, I can make payments in the system for you, or we can set you up on automatic payments.  I do require that payments are made at least 24 hours in advance.  This also holds your session time slot.
