This is a very personal question, and so we encourage you to explore our providers biographies, backgrounds and focuses to identify individuals you believe fit the profile of an individual who, as much as possible, aligns to your preferences. However, we would love to help you and are available via phone, email or through a Contact Us inquiry to talk through identifying a care provider with on of our client advisors.
Typically, your first appointment will be a ‘Diagnostic Evaluation’ with one of our clinician. This first consultation will allow both of you to explore your needs & goals for therapy, and align on whether you believe you will be a good match together to deliver the on the desired outcomes you seek..
Expect for the first appointment to be about an hour and a half long. The first part of your session will be completing initial assessments & paperwork and then you’ll meet with the provider for 45 minutes to an hour, as part of your Diagnostic Evaluation.
Please bring your insurance card, photo ID, and your phone or calendar to coordinate follow up appointments if needed.
Either through our ‘Match with a Therapist’, reviewing providers in our ‘Find a Provider’ directory, or with the assistance of our client advisor, we take into consideration the care or services you seek, your preferences for care and those of the provider you work with, and any other consideration like where, how & and what times you are available to work with your provider.
