Getting Started – First Contact

It might be helpful to think of your first contact with a therapist in the same way you think of an informational job interview. Think through the questions you want to ask to make sure the therapist is the right fit for you:

​

1. How did you find me?

2. Have you reviewed my website? I work hard on keeping my website and my blog up-to-date and aim to answer your questions proactively to save us both time. What questions do you have, after having reviewed my website?

3. Which of my specialties are of interest to you?

4. Have you reviewed my fees? (I am unable to accept insurance)

5. Are you over 18 years of age (I work with adults only)?

6. Will you be located at the time of every session in Oregon or Minnesota where I am licensed? (I can also work with some international clients – please describe your location.)

7. Are you comfortable with teletherapy (I currently only offer teletherapy)?

 

Then you reach out and schedule this initial appointment. I offer free 15-minute consultations when I have openings.
