Complete Your Paperwork
Before your first session, you'll complete all of your intake paperwork online — so your first visit can be focused entirely on you.
Your First Visit
Arrive a few minutes early and make yourself at home in our waiting room. Help yourself to water, tea, or coffee, and your counselor will greet you when your session begins.

Together with your counselor, you'll set goals and begin the work of healing and growth — always at a pace that feels right for you.
