A SPACE TO BEGIN
Finding the right therapist matters.
Therapy is personal. Beyond experience and training, it's important to find someone you feel comfortable talking to.
Our free consultation offers a chance to connect with a therapist, share what you're hoping to work on, and learn about their approach.
This isn't a therapy session or a formal assessment. It's simply a conversation to help you make an informed decision about your care.
“
You don't have to know exactly what you need. We can begin by exploring that together.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Three simple steps.
There's no need to prepare a perfect explanation or know all the answers before we speak.
02
Let's talk
Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. We can discuss your concerns, what you're hoping for, and how therapy might help.
03
Decide what feels right
Ask questions about our approach, availability, and fees. If you'd like to move forward, we'll explain the next steps. There's no pressure.
YOUR QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME
Wondering what
to ask?
You can ask anything that helps you understand whether the therapist, approach, and practical arrangements are a good fit for you.
“Have you worked with concerns like mine?”
“What might therapy with you look like?”
“Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?”
“How do fees, insurance, and scheduling work?”
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A few things you might be wondering.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The introductory 15-minute consultation is complimentary, with no obligation to begin therapy.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No preparation is required. You may find it helpful to think about what prompted you to reach out, but you don't need to organize your thoughts beforehand.
Is this the same as a therapy session?
No. The consultation is a brief introductory conversation focused on understanding your needs, discussing therapeutic fit, and answering practical questions. Clinical assessment and treatment occur during therapy appointments.
Can I ask about fees and insurance?
Absolutely. We can discuss session fees, insurance receipts, potential direct billing arrangements, and available services.
What if I decide not to book therapy?
That's completely fine. The consultation is intended to help you make a decision, not to pressure you into treatment.
Can I book for couples or family therapy?
Yes. You can use a consultation to ask about our individual, couples, youth, or family services and discuss the most appropriate next step.
Will our conversation be confidential?
We treat consultation information confidentially in accordance with applicable professional and privacy requirements, subject to legal and professional limits to confidentiality.
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY
Your next step can
be a small one.
Sometimes the first conversation is simply about seeing what's possible. We're here to listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options.
