How to Get Started

1

Fill out the screening form

You found us and now you are ready to work with us!
We first need you to fill out our screening form. This form answers many FAQs and lets us know you have reviewed the main policies before booking your appointment. Additionally, we ensure that you have a concern related to our specialties. If this is unclear, we may reach out with additional questions before sending you a booking link.

2

Book your initial consultation call

Once you complete the screening form, we will reach out with a link where you can self-schedule your call. Due to limited services and our growing waitlist, we only book initial consultations no more than three weeks in advance. Spots go quickly, the self-schedule link will update whenever appointments become available.
You are required to fill out paperwork prior to the call.

3

Initial call and scheduling intake

Our quick video introduction is a chance for us to get to know each other. During this call, we make sure that we are a good fit for each other and discuss any concerns. Once we move forward, your therapist will schedule you for a minimum 80-minute intake appointment. You are required to complete the remaining paperwork & questionnaires 48 hours prior to your appointment to avoid cancellation/rescheduling.
