What to expect

Beginning the work
You may wonder what to expect when you come for your first appointment. First and most important is to remember that this is about meeting YOUR needs. This means that your concerns drive the sessions.

Your first appointment
Please come 15 minutes early to your first session. You will need to complete the necessary paperwork which will be on a clipboard with my business card attached.

You will do this in the waiting room. When you have completed the paperwork, press the button next to my name so that I will know that you are ready for your session.

• We'll discuss the issues that bring you to me.
• Please ask whatever questions you may have.
• I may ask a lot of questions at first, to clarify the issues.
• We'll develop a preliminary plan for dealing with your concerns.
• Then you can decide if I'm the right therapist for you.

Payment
I'm a provider on many insurance plans. We'll work out preliminary payment arrangements when you call to make an appointment. Please verify your mental health coverage and bring your insurance card to the first session.
