New situations (especially involving relationships or mental health) can be weird, so if you're anything like me, you'd like to know what you're walking into. Here's a small example of what to expect at your first visit:

​

After scheduling an appointment you will receive an email with the details about our meeting and a link to a confidential client portal. Following that link lets you review my policies and fill out the intake paperwork that helps me get to know you a little better before we get started. This is all done online, so you don't have to bring any paperwork to our first meeting; however, if you'd prefer to use printed paperwork, we can work that out too! When you arrive for your first session all you need to bring is a form of payment (I currently charge $110/hour); I can take cash, card, or check, and can provide you with information for reimbursement for some insurances. I am also in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Uprise Health if you would like to use your insurance.

 

I start the first session by going over some important policies, but then the majority of the time is spent with us getting to know each other, coming to an understanding of your goals, then talking about how we can help you get there. We will also talk about pricing, how often we will meet, and how we will check in with progress over the course of our time together. As the sessions go on and the therapy relationship grows, we will work to create the growth that you want to see by processing your experience, identifying useful skills, and helping you take ownership as the author of your story.
