In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you should expect that we will go over some housekeeping things and complete the intake, where you share your story of what brought you to my virtual office. In addition, I go over our skill sets the first 4 weeks to help you gain emotional regulation on your own. So during that 1st session, will go over a skill set and discuss the next steps. SIDE NOTE FOR FIRST TIME CLIENT'S Your appointment time is reserved especially for you and your care. This dedicated time allows us to focus fully on your mental health and ensures you receive the attention and support you deserve. Because this time has been set aside specifically for you, and is no longer available to other clients, we kindly ask that you prioritize attending your scheduled sessions to make success achievable. We deeply value your time and commitment to the therapeutic process, and we ask for that same respect in return by attending appointments and completing any agreed-upon work between sessions. Consistency and engagement are key components of meaningful progress, and when both are present, you’re much more likely to experience improvements in your emotional well-being and overall mental health. With that said, it's important to respect each other's time, and with success comes boundaries and expectations. As I said earlier, I like to be transparent, with traditional insurance and cash payors, my practice allows 2 no shows and/or 2 late cancelations, then at that point if the client does either the third time, they will be discharged from my care and provided a list of new providers. If a client is utilizing medicaid, my practice only allows 1 no show and/or 1 late cancel, after that, the client will be discharged and provided a new list of providers. Life happens and on occasion, you may run late. If you are running late to a session (more than 4 minutes), please: Log into the patient portal to send me a message letting me know you are running late and approximately what time you expect to join • If I do not hear from you by the 00:15 minute mark of the hour, the session will be marked as a no-show. I take your mental health serious and want to set you up for success, so I ask that you do the same as well as value our time together so you can be successful!
