3 Steps to Therapy

  • 1. Information

    Provide your information on the Contact Us tab: First & Last name, your date of birth, a short summary of why you are seeking therapy, and your preferred email contact.

  • 2. Registration

    Upon receiving your information we will send you a Welcome email with the subject line-Client Portal Invitation and Document Request. This email is your invitation to create an account on our Client Portal-allowing you to review & sign documents, request or schedule appointments and more.

    Document Request-these are your registration forms to begin the intake process: the Registration Form and Service Agreement-please fill out and submit this patient registration and consent form prior to your first appointment; the Preferred Communication Form used to authorize the exchange of emails and telephone and/or text messages with your provider; a Summary of Your Rights & HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act); and Payment Authorization Forms-to securely submit your payment arrangements by credit card or through your insurance provider.

    Before your first visit is scheduled please read, complete and return these documents.

  • 3. Confirmation

    Once your registration is completed and your identification and payment authorization verified you will be sent an email indicating the date and time of your first appointment, and what to expect before your first therapy session, additional information on navigating our secure patient portal, and tips on using telehealth therapy.

    We look forward to hearing from you!
