Not all individuals are appropriate for online counseling or therapy services. Thus, ensuring a good fit helps maximize the effectiveness of the online counseling and therapy experience. Prospective clients are screened to assess areas such as whether our clinical approach, speciality areas, and service modalities, will meet your needs. Your comfort with technology and privacy and security concerns are also assessed. A referral to another counselor or therapist will be provided to you if it is determined that we are not the appropriate provider to serve you.
After screening for fit, scheduling an appointment and initiating the intake process are the next steps. We will contact you to schedule your initial appointment. And we'll walk you through how to access and set up a secure patient portal to ensure that your data and privacy is secure.
