Your first visit

Starting is simpler than it feels

Reaching out for the first time takes courage. Here's exactly what happens, so there are no surprises, and nothing to figure out on your own.

  1. Reach out

    Send a short note through the contact form or give us a call. No long intake paperwork, and no need to explain your whole story up front.

  2. We meet

    Your first session is relaxed and pressure free, a chance to get to know each other, share what's on your mind, and see how it feels.

  3. We begin

    If it feels like a fit, we'll shape a plan together that matches your goals, your pace, and your life. You're always in the driver's seat.

In your first session

You set the pace, always

You never have to share more than feels okay. Many people arrive unsure what to say, and that's completely fine. We'll start gently, follow your lead, and there's no such thing as saying it "wrong."

Around 50 minutes

A typical session runs about 45 to 55 minutes. Your first one may run a little longer as we get to know each other.

In person or virtual

Meet in a calm, private office or from wherever you feel most comfortable, over secure video.

Private & confidential

What you share stays between us, within the limits of the law. Your privacy is protected and respected.

Fees & insurance

We'll go over fees openly before your first visit, and talk through any options together. Just ask, there's no awkwardness here.

Good to know

Questions people often ask

What if I don't know what to talk about?
That's one of the most common things we hear, and it's completely okay. You don't need an agenda or the right words. We'll start with wherever you are today, and the conversation unfolds from there.
Is what I say really confidential?
Yes. What you share is private and protected, within a few legal limits designed to keep people safe (for example, if someone is in immediate danger). We'll explain those clearly at the start.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
We do. You can meet in person or over secure video from wherever feels comfortable. Many people mix both depending on their week.
How often would we meet?
Often weekly to start, but there's no fixed rule. Some people come for a short season, others longer. We'll find a rhythm that fits your needs and your life.
How do I pay, and do you take insurance?
We'll walk through fees and any insurance or payment options before your first session, so there are no surprises. Reach out and we'll talk it through.
What if it doesn't feel like the right fit?
Fit matters, and it's okay to say so. If we're not the right match, we'll gladly help point you toward someone who may be a better one. No hard feelings, ever.
