GETTING STARTED

A clear place to begin.

Beginning therapy should feel clear and manageable. We're here to guide you through the first steps, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about what comes next.

What the process looks like

FOUR SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED.

1

Submit your intake form

Share a few basic details about yourself and what you're looking for.

2

Meet for a 15-minute consultation

We'll briefly connect to make sure we're a good fit and answer your initial questions.

3

Complete your intake paperwork

You'll be asked to complete some additional forms before your first session.

4

Begin your first sessions

Once the paperwork is complete, you'll schedule your first session and begin your work together.

What your first sessions may include

The first one or two sessions often focus on understanding what brings you in, exploring important relationships and family patterns, and learning more about your history. We'll talk about your goals for therapy and may also create a genogram (a visual map of your family system) to better understand the bigger picture.

Starting couples or family therapy?

The beginning looks a little different when more than one person is involved.

How long does therapy last?

There is no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some clients come with a focused concern and see meaningful progress in a shorter period of time, while others benefit from longer-term work.We'll regularly check in on your goals and progress, and your therapy can evolve as your needs and circumstances change.
