Our Process

  • Once you reach out to us via phone or email, we will contact you to setup a brief meet and greet phone call.

  • We will then do a 15-minute phone call to discuss your needs, see if our personalities are a match and we can support you.

  • We will send an intake form and set a time to commence the first appointment.

After this call, and if both parties are happy, we then send an intake to be completed (or a supervision agreement) prior to the first session. We will also schedule an initial date to commence therapy. If at any point during the call either party is not happy or we do not feel this is a match, we will discuss alternative options. During the call it is good to think about what you think we need to know and what you’d like to discuss to use our time the most effectively. It might be helpful to jot down some questions and themes prior to this, for reference.
