INITIAL APPOINTMENT

before your first appointment:

Complete all intake paperwork and upload insurance information through the online client portal at least 48 hours before your first scheduled session.

Plan for a confidential space where you can attend your online session, such as being alone in a room with the door closed and a sound-blocking device outside of the door (white noise machines, box fans, and radios all work great)! Headphones can provide an added layer of privacy as well.

Minors should plan to have their caregiver(s) attend at least part of the first session.

during your first appointment:

We will take a few minutes to review practice policies, consent, and general treatment expectations.

We’ll spend time getting to know each other and I will gather information about what’s bringing you to treatment and what you hope to accomplish in treatment.

We will discuss treatment options and make a plan to help you reach your goals.
