Intake Process
The Intake process takes about 15 minutes to complete. We’ll take your contact information, inquire why the individual(s) would like to be seen, discuss availability for appointments, and cover fee information, including an explanation of the No Surprises Act.

Connecting With Your Therapist
After the intake is complete, we’ll assign a therapist who would best meet your/the potential client’s needs (ie: best fit, specializations, availability, telehealth vs. in-person…etc).

Therapy
Individual therapy is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a therapist — in a safe, caring, and confidential environment — to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
