During that conversation you and I will determine if an in-person appointment seems like the best next step for you. If it is not, then I will do my best to refer you to the kind of treatment we both decide is in your best interest.
If we agree that a psychotherapy appointment is the next right step, I will first send you required legal forms such as HIPPA, informed consent, basic client information These need to be signed by you before we begin.
All appointments ae virtual.
Often many powerful feelings come up quickly in that first meeting. I will give you emotional room to feel what you feel and time to share whatever you are willing to talke about.
You will feel what it's like to be face to face with me. You will know if I seem c ucapable of understanding your situation and if you can can be with me as you feel what you feel. You will know if I seem like a person you might give an opportunity to be of help to you. You might give me a change to accompany you and support you on your healing journey.
You may feel rigid. You may feel sad or angry. You may feel relief and hope. You may feel all these things. If you do, and you're willing and I believe that I may be able to help you and work with you, then we will make another psychotherapy appointment.
At that point we are building a relationship and a healing bond that supports your steps toward a more free life.
