First, we start with setting up a time to do what we call an intake. We will ask you to will out some paperwork in order to give us a better idea what you need, and helps us move to develop a plan of care faster. Your mental health is important to us, and so we will take the necessary time on the first appointment to gain a better understanding of what your going through. Plan to talk about your medical and mental health history, any past treatment, and what you are currently doing to help your mental health. The more we know about what your experience has been like, the better prepared we are to map out the treatment options for the future.

Therapy should never be considered a race to wellness, rather a journey to take at your pace. It all depends on what you need from therapy. Remember that even the simplest wound still takes time to heal. We commit to work with you and to keep your needs in mind as the therapeutic process progresses. We are ready to listen and support you as you take your next step.
