Initial Visit
Many people are nervous about the initial visit, but often feel relieved after the session. Please know that it is my goal to make your time with me as comfortable and emotionally safe as possible to make it easier for you to disclose important information.
The purpose of the initial visit is for me to gain a solid understanding of your concerns and needs so that we can determine your next steps. Because of the very intimate nature of psychotherapy, it is important to use this visit to raise any concerns you have, and ask questions so you can determine whether you would be comfortable with me as your psychologist. I will be evaluating whether your situation is one that fits my unique skill set. If for any reason, it does not seem like we are a good match, I will be happy to assist you in finding someone who might be a better fit.
Please be on time for your initial appointment whether it is in-person or via telehealth, as your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. Paperwork must be at least 24 business hours ahead of your appointment in order to make sure I have time to prepare for your visit and to give us adequate time to check your insurance benefits.
