FAQ – What happens after you reach out to book with us?
Once you let us know you’d like to book with us, you’ll hear back within a few days and will be sent some additional information to help you make a decision. It’s important to find the right match when you are trying to find a therapist! Don’t be afraid to “shop around” & reach out to multiple therapists so you can be sure it’s a good fit.
After you e-mail to book a Meet & Greet or fill out the contact form below, you’ll be sent an e-mail with the “ABCs of Therapy: Availability, Booking policies, & Cost”. You’ll also be sent an Intro letter with in-depth details about your therapist’s training & experience.
The next step will be planning a time to connect. The Meet & Greet is a 15-minute virtual meeting or phone call where you can get to know your therapist to decide if they would be a good match for you. Please bring any and all questions you might have, including questions about the therapy process itself!
If the therapist-finding stars align, we can get started! This would mean you fit the above populations & you’re happy with the timeframes, fees, and types of therapy offered. Before the first session, you’ll receive a brief Intake form. You’ll also be asked to sign a Therapy Contract.
If you’re keen to dive right in, you can ask to be sent some “therapy homework”. This may include handouts and worksheets like the ones available on the Free Resources & Therapy Homework page. There may also be some measurements you can fill out that can add additional information to the assessment.
