Consultation call
Have a complimentary consultation call by calling (620) 315-4073. Please leave a message as we are unable to answer during session. On this call, you'll be invited to share what's been going on in your life and what brought you to consider therapy. You can tell me as much or as little as you're comfortable with – there's no pressure. Then, I'll ask some questions to understand your situation better, like how long you've been dealing with these challenges and if you've ever tried therapy before.
We'll also talk about what you're hoping to get out of therapy and any preferences you have, like if you prefer a certain therapeutic approach or if there are specific goals you want to work towards.
By the end of the call, we'll discuss whether you'd like to schedule an initial session to dive deeper into your concerns. And if you have any questions about logistics, like scheduling or payment, we can go over those too.
Often, clients will prefer to use insurance to help offset the cost of services. Any arrangement involving insurance coverage must be initiated prior to starting services, or as insurance becomes available to clients according to their needs.
After the initial consultation, you'll review and sign new client forms in order for your treatment needs to be supported. Our office is handicap accessible.
