The purpose of the phone consultation is to help us get a
clear sense of what you are needing and looking for. It is
also your opportunity to ask us questions to see if we a the
right fit for you.
If everything seems like a good fit then we will get you
scheduled for your first appointment. You will receive an
email with the intake paperwork to be completed through the
client portal prior to our first session together. This system
is an encrypted electronic medical record software so your
information is safe and protected.
That is a great question! Research supports that the
intangible piece for healing to occur is the relationship
between the client and the therapist. It is that spark of
genuine connection that we have with some people. Each
therapist is a unique person too with their own style, vibe,
professional and personal experiences.
