How It Works

Initial
Free Phone
Call

Admitting we need help to face life's issues is sometimes one of the hardest things we will ever do. In this first call, we will find out more about what you need and how our practice can be of help to you. We seek to tailor our services to best fit your personality and what you are hoping to gain from counseling.
It is essential to find someone you connect with who can genuinely understand you and your situation. We will assist you in developing a therapist partnership with someone you can trust with your innermost thoughts and feelings. Our therapists have a wide variety of specialties, expertise, and backgrounds to match your unique circumstances.

Therapist
Partnership

Scheduling
First
Sessions

Once we connect you with the appropriate therapist, we will help schedule your initial sessions. The first session will assist us in learning more about your obstacles, strengths, background, and goals, as well as giving you the opportunity to get a good feel for your therapist.
In the initial sessions, we will help in assessing your needs as you get to know your therapist. We find out what brought you to therapy, identify the obstacles in your life, and gain an understanding of your history, relationships, and other important aspects of your situation. Then, we help develop a plan on how to best proceed with your care.

Assessing
Your
Needs

Custom
care
plan

Because mental health issues are personal and unique to each individual, developing a custom care plan to help with your needs is one of the most important aspects of our quality services. The plan is a tool used to focus your care to achieve the best results according to your specific goals and unique personal needs.
As you move through life, continued monitoring of your needs and goals will help you to experience optimal results. Life is full of stress, loss, grief, and other difficulties. After initial healing occurs with your most acute concerns, we will assist with continued care to equip you to address these new challenges in healthy and functional ways.
