What to expect
Everything you need to know before your first visit — from paperwork to what happens on the call.
The intake process
-
1. Book your free consultation
A brief 15-minute video call to share what's bringing you in and confirm this practice can meet your needs.
-
2. Complete secure intake forms
After booking your evaluation, you'll receive a link to complete history questionnaires, consent forms, and insurance/payment information online, at your own pace.
-
3. Attend your initial evaluation
A 60-minute video visit where we review your history in depth and start building a treatment plan together.
-
4. Begin ongoing care
Follow-up visits are scheduled based on your treatment plan — typically every 2–8 weeks depending on where you are in treatment.
Technology requirements
Visits are held on a secure, encrypted telehealth platform. You'll need:
- A computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone
- A stable internet connection
- A private, quiet space for your appointment
- A government-issued photo ID for identity verification at your first visit
No app download is required — you'll join through a secure link sent to your email.
Where I can see patients
Due to state licensing laws, I can only provide care to patients who are physically located in a state where I'm licensed at the time of the visit:
Planning to travel? Let me know in advance — we may need to reschedule visits that fall outside these states.
Insurance & payment

This practice is currently private-pay / out-of-network with insurance plans. A monthly superbill is provided on request so you can seek reimbursement from your insurer for out-of-network benefits, if applicable. — update this section to reflect real insurance arrangements.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of each visit. Major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. — update with your actual billing setup (e.g., Stripe, SimplePractice, IvyPay).
