THE CONSULT CALL
Hop on a quick, casual 15/ 20 minute chat on the phone with Ashley. This call is dual purpose, to ensure that I am confident I can help you reach your goals in therapy and for YOU to decide if I am the right fit for you. This is our chance to get know one another, Bring all your questions!
THE PAPERWORK
Once we decide to schedule our first session together, prepare for an inbox of paperwork. This will come from a HIPAA compliant platform to keep all of your info secure. Paperwork will range from medical and personal history as well as cover practice policies.
FIRST SESSION
If our first session is in person, make yourself cozy in the lobby with tea and I will meet you at our appointment time. If we are meeting virtually, I also encourage tea (just to make things cozy). You will have a secure link in your inbox to access our HIPAA compliant meeting space.
In this first session, we will start with going over any questions from our paperwork and talk about what to expect. Overall this first session is really just me getting to know you! We will also talk in more detail about your goals and what to expect moving forward in our work together. It is totally normal to feel a bit anxious in these first meetings. (Spoiler, I get nervous too!) I always love to reframe these nerves as excitement. Big things and big changes are in your future, it makes sense that big feelings come alongside it.
