Things To Know About Our Services

How do I connect
with a therapist?
-
For new clients you will want to book a discovery call meeting with the therapist of your choosing. These discovery calls usually last about 15 mins. and will be done via phone or online (via Zoom).
-
Our therapists want to be as accessible as they can be so all of our services will be through phone or online (via Zoom). We are currently in the process of looking at in-person services, though it is still in the development stage.

What is the first
meeting like?
-
During your first meeting, time will be dedicated to ensuring you know how your therapist will have your back, as you have many rights as a client.
-
As your caring therapist learns about you and your challenges, they will check on how well you are sleeping and coping and inquire about who/what may be helping and hindering you.
-
You will control the pace of the session and remain in charge of what you want to share or not share.
-
We know it can be very challenging to set goals when you are experiencing struggles, so the first session is about connect, understanding, and offering hope.
