New Clients

Step 1: Fill out the contact form.

Filling out the contact form found on this page and throughout our website will be the first step in starting your therapy journey.  In the Comment or Message section, consider adding any of the following information that would be important for your perspective therapist to know:

- Are you interested in using insurance, and if so, what insurance do you have?

- Are you filling out the contact form for yourself or a loved one?  

- What brings you into therapy at this time in your life?  You can keep this brief, but even a few words can help match you with the best fit therapist on our team.

- Is there a specific therapist on our team that caught your eye? 

- Are you looking for a specific type or modality of therapy? For instance, CBT, EMDR, DBT, etc.

- Would you prefer to speak with someone directly on the phone?  If so, please specify and we will be happy to contact you via the phone number provided, or offer a free consultation call with your preferred therapist.

Once you submit the form, our admin will receive an email with your contact information and will reach out via email within 24 business hours.  

Step 2: Check your email.

Within 24 business hours, you will receive a response from our admin.  If there is any clarification needed to match you with the best available therapist for your needs, we will ask you here.  This may be insurance based, availability, or goals for therapy.  If you are interested in using your insurance benefits with one of the insurance companies we are in network with, we will set you up in Headway to verify your insurance coverage and any potential copayments.

Step 3: Confirm your intake appointment.

Once we decide on which therapist would be the best fit for you, we will offer you an intake session.  Once you confirm, we will send you an invitation through our HIPAA compliant electronic health records system (Simple Practice) to set up your client portal and complete all necessary intake paperwork.

Step 4: Complete all intake paperwork.

The intake paperwork will be available to you in your client portal in Simple Practice.  This includes our practice policies and consents, demographic information, baseline assessments, payment information, and some personalized details about you.  This all can be completed online - no printing necessary and your information is protected in our HIPAA compliant platform.  All intake paperwork is required to be completed at least 48 hours in advance of your intake appointment.  Completing this paperwork in advance allows our therapists to be more prepared for your first meeting and makes the intake session much more personable than a typical information gathering intake session.

Step 5: Meet with your therapist.

At your first intake appointment, your therapist will have already had an opportunity to reach through your intake information.  All you have to bring is yourself.  From the first session and on, your therapist will focus on building a rapport with you and meeting your individualized needs.  Now the work and healing begins.
