Are We the Right Fit? 15-Minute Introductory Phone Consultation
Finding the right therapist is an important part of feeling supported and safe in the therapeutic process. To help make this decision easier, we now offer a once-off 15-minute phone consultation for new clients for just $30.
This introductory appointment is designed for people who are interested in taking the first step, want to understand our approach, and would like clarity before committing to ongoing therapy.
What Is a Phone Consultation?
A brief phone conversation with our therapist helps you determine whether our practice is the right fit for your needs. You may have questions about:
- Our approach, therapy styles, or session structure
- How our therapist may support you with the types of concerns you are experiencing
- Whether ongoing sessions may be beneficial for you
This is not a therapy session, but rather an introduction to help guide your decision-making.
