You can schedule a time to speak with one of our intake specialists. They'll answer your questions, walk you through the steps, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward.

A simple process for real change

Taking the first step toward therapy shouldn’t be complicated. Our process is mostly done via the website and email, so you can focus on getting care - without the hassle of phone tag. If you need help, we’re just a call away.

  • Step 1

    Complete the HIPPA comlpint secure client intake form. If you’re using insurance, we’ll verify your benefits within 24 hours (Monday–Friday) and email you your out-of-pocket costs according to your plan. 

  • Step 2

    Once you’ve confirmed that you’re okay with the out-of-pocket costs, we’ll send you the consent paperwork and a link to schedule your appointment.

    We want to make sure there are no surprises so you’ll have all the information before moving forward.

  • Step 3

    Meet your therapist and begin your sessions! Finding the right therapist takes time; your first session is an excellent opportunity to explore that connection.

    Unlike a quick consultation, this session will give you time to see if it feels like a good fit. Our goal is to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
