How Our Process Works:
Before beginning services, you will complete intake paperwork through our secure Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Once your documents have been completed, we will send you the link for your telehealth session.
For couples therapy, we typically begin by meeting individually with each member of the relationship prior to starting conjoint sessions. This allows us to establish rapport with each partner, better understand your perspectives and concerns, and gather important background information to help guide our work together. Once conjoint sessions begin, we will collaboratively identify goals, discuss hopes for therapy, and begin developing a path forward together.
For individual therapy, the first several sessions are generally focused on assessment, information gathering, and collaborative goal setting. Together, we will develop a supportive treatment plan and adjust our approach as needed throughout the therapeutic process.
Our clinicians are trained in a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches and tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, goals, and circumstances.
