What is an initial consultation and how can it be helpful?

Scheduling a free 15 minute phone consultation allows you the opportunity to ask questions, discuss what your needs are and get a sense of my working style. It gives you the space to decide what the best fit for you is and your needs and if I am a good match for the work you would like to do. It also creates some space for you to discuss your concerns or hopes for therapy without any pressure to commit to working together. My sincere goal is to get you the kind of support that feels right for you.
