Initial Consultations

What is an Initial Consultation?

We offer an optional  60 minute initial consultation with a licensed psychotherapist or social worker to better understand your family’s needs and create a plan tailored to your situation. This is a virtual service for parents (or individual adults seeking services for themselves) where you’ll receive guidance, initial recommendations, and actionable strategies to use while waiting for ongoing services.

It’s a valuable opportunity to clarify your next steps and ensure you’re on the right track. Preliminary research indicates that an initial consultation can have an immediate impact in reducing family distress and improving symptoms.

You will gain:

• Clinical impressions with recommendations for next steps (e.g., which service is appropriate)
• Triage support for high-risk clients
• Easy-to-access tools to best support yourself and/or your child or adolescent

The cost of the initial consultation is $300.00, and we will provide the recommendations in writing as well as a receipt that is likely eligible for reimbursement through your insurance.

Please note: If a clinician is immediately available to see your family, the initial consultation will be skipped and the assigned clinician will contact you directly. Conducting an initial consultation does not move clients up the waitlist quicker.

How do I know which service I need?

If you are unsure which service you need, an Initial Consultation is recommeneded to help determine what is most appropriate given your concerns.
