In your 15-minute video consultation, I will get a sense of what is going on and how I might be able to help. I may share information about my practice and answer any questions you may have. I do not want you to be at a disadvantage at any point in the therapeutic process, and being that rapport drives the therapeutic process, I will be tuned in to determine if I would be the absolute right fit for you.

If it is determined that I am the right fit, we would move forward by scheduling the assessment appointment and all appropriate paperwork will be sent to you electronically to be completed prior to our meeting. Please know that your privacy and security is important to me. Text messaging is not a secured means of communication. It’s best to keep our email and text contacts limited to scheduling discussions only. It may also be helpful to know that confidentiality in psychotherapy takes effect after we have decided to work together and make that commitment in writing, but not before.
