• Connect with the intake therapist

• Complete your intake forms through the client portal after confirming your scheduled intake session with our Care Coordinator.

• Come to your first session.

• Meet your therapist and discuss what brings you to therapy and your goals for therapy. The initial session is where we get to know you and you get a feel for who we are as a therapist. By the end of the session, we will talk to you about our fit as a therapist and hopefully schedule a second appointment to start treatment.

Yes, therapy is confidential meaning that all information between the client and the therapist is held in strict confidence and not shared with any third party, with the exception of the following:

a) If there is a reason to believe there is an occurrence of child, elder, or dependent abuse or neglect;

b) If there is reason to believe that you have serious intent to harm yourself, someone else, or property by a violent act you may commit;

c) If you introduce your emotional condition into a legal proceeding;

d) If your records are subpoenaed by a court of law;

e) If you sign a release authorizing the therapist to speak with a designated individual.

In the first session, your therapist will review your consent form and discuss confidentiality as well as take your payment. Then your therapist will begin to hear your story and learn more about you and your goals for therapy.

The second and third sessions are typically a continuation of your story, getting to know you, your strengths and growth needs. We will form goals that are objective, meaning they will be specific, you will know how to reach them, and what life will look like when you reach those goals.

From that point on, sessions are tailored to meeting your goals, with check-ins on how you feel progress is being made, changing or adding goals, and helping you feel life satisfaction.
