Taking the first step

 

Dear prospective client,

Welcome.  I would be honored to work with you and support you in your movement towards change.  The steps to setting up an appointment with me is simple:

 

Step One

 

Call or email me with a brief description of the services you are seeking.  Please provide me with your name, contact number, and a schedule of times when you can comfortably receive a return call and discuss your situation.  I provide a free 15-20 min phone consultation.

 

Step Two

 

You will receive a return call from me within 24-48 hours, offering several possible times for an intake call.  Agree to an intake time that works for your schedule.  Intake sessions can also be arranged via email.  To do so, please email me a message titled "new client" to vtherapy17@gmail.com

 

Step Three

 

Print, read carefully and fill out the intake forms.  These intake forms provide you with information about the therapeutic services provided by me.  They also ask for introductory information about you and the issues you hope to address in therapy.  I need these forms completed in full before therapy can begin.  Please pay special attention to the rules regarding confidentiality and exceptions to confidentiality as well as to our appointment cancellation policy.  These are stated on the informed consent form. 

 

Step Four

 

Bring in your completed forms at the time of your first appointment.

 

Step Five

 

Make a payment.  Review office policies here or payment contract here.
