3 Steps to Therapy

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.

We look forward to hearing from you!
