What Happens Before Your First Session?Prior to your intake, you will receive a patient portal link through SimplePractice which gives access to my practice's forms. These forms should take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete.
Please complete these forms before your scheduled intake session. -
What Happens During Your First Session?Typically, the initial session involves becoming familiar with the concept and expectations for therapy. My clinical and professional background will be summarized and basic information questions will be asked to begin formulating a treatment plan and diagnosis.
It's also important to know that you, the client, can ask me questions about my clinical background to make sure I'd be the appropriate provider to help guide you through treatment.
