What happens during the pre-therapy consultation?
I offer a no-cost, 20-30 minute phone consultation called prior to starting therapy services. It is an opportunity for us to talk about:
The concerns for which you are seeking counseling and what you hope to get out of it.
How I could envision supporting you.
The approaches I draw on in general and specifically for your circumstances.
Logistical questions regarding getting started, costs, etc. You can preview some of that information here.
Any other questions you may have.
What I hope is for you to get a sense of me, whether I feel like a good fit for you, and what it might be like to work with me. And I can ensure that I have the skills and knowledge to address the concerns you wish to work on. I want you to come away with your questions answered and enough information to make a decision. If you are seeking couples counseling, it is best if both partners attend the complimentary consultation.
