What can I expect from the consultation?

During this call, it’s helpful if you start by telling me a bit more about what brings you to therapy and what you are hoping to get out of our work together. Then, I’ll tell you a bit about my practice and answer any questions you have. If for some reason we are not the right fit, I’m happy to help you through the process of finding someone who is the perfect fit for you.

What determines a “good fit”?

This is so important–we are both determining whether this relationship and investment will help you meet your goals. It is okay at this stage to not know what or who you are looking for. The consultation might help you figure that out. Maybe you don’t like the sound of my voice, or my approach or energy, or it just doesn’t feel right. That’s all helpful information to know in your search for a therapist. I am also assessing whether we are a good clinical match–do I have the skills and capacity to help you? In short, what we are really determining is whether my clinical style and process seem like a good match for your personality and needs, and whether I am the clinician best suited to help you. I will help guide you during this call.
