Getting Started

Once the first appointment is scheduled, you will be emailed intake and consent forms to complete before your first visit. The initial visit will consist of an overview of the presenting problem and background information. The primary goal will be to establish a strong therapeutic relationship. From there, the client and counselor will work together to formulate goals for therapy. For adolescents, parents can choose if they would like to do the intake session with or without their child present. For marriage counseling, both partners must be present to begin counseling. 

If it is determined that the client and counselor are not the right fit for each other, then a referral will be made to help the client connect with another counselor who can better meet their needs.
