What to Expect on the Consultation Call

I will take the lead. You just show up.

Here is the structure of the 15-minute consultation call:

  1. I’ll ask: “Tell me a little about what is bringing you to therapy?”

    • You can share as little or as much as you’d like. There’s no pressure to say it perfectly—just whatever feels most important.

      Some examples:

      • “I’ve been feeling unmotivated and low energy lately.”

      • “I have childhood trauma I want to work through.”

      • “I get easily triggered, and it’s affecting my relationships.”

      I may ask a few follow-up questions to better understand your needs.

  2. I’ll explain how I work and how I can help your specific needs.

  3. We’ll discuss logistics, such as scheduling, availability, session format (in-person or virtual), and fees.

  4. You’ll be given an opportunity to ask any questions.
