How do I begin?
Click here to schedule a complimentary 20 minute consultation. You will receive
intake paperwork and a document on our practice policies via email after booking
your first session with us. You’ll complete these forms prior to your first session,
which is an intake session. An intake session is a time to get to know you, your
history, what you are wanting out of therapy, create goals and a custom-tailored
treatment plan for you.
Throughout the course of treatment, we will continue to assess your
improvement to ensure you are receiving the right treatment and support. Every
person is unique so this is not a one-size fits all approach; the treatment plan is
designed specifically with you in mind.
