Initial Consultation Policy
Described here are my policies and procedures for consultation appointments. Please read this information carefully as it contains information about our appointment related to expectations, privacy, and confidentiality.
General Information
A complimentary (i.e., Free) 30-minute virtual consultation is offered for prospective clients through HIPAA-compliant video or by phone.
Safety & Risk
A virtual consultation appointment is not appropriate for individuals who are experiencing a mental health emergency.
If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or homicide, please do not schedule a consultation appointment. Instead, it is recommended that you dial 988 which is the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, dial 911, or take yourself to the nearest hospital.

To attend this virtual consultation appointment, you must be located in either Michigan or Texas (i.e., the states I am licensed to practice in) at the time of our appointment. I will ask you to verify your physical location with me at the beginning of the appointment.
Purpose of the Consultation
The purpose of this free 30-minute consultation is to:
-
Provide you with an opportunity to briefly discuss your current concerns.
-
Allow me to assess whether your needs fall within the scope of services I offer.
-
Answer any questions you may have about therapy, my approach, or logistics (fees, telehealth, etc.).
-
Determine if we are a good fit to proceed with formal therapeutic services.
Important Disclosures

This consultation does not constitute the start of a therapeutic relationship or the provision of psychological services beyond the scope of this meeting.
-
The clinician will not provide clinical treatment, diagnosis, or crisis intervention during this consultation.
-
If the clinician determines that your needs are outside of their scope of practice or expertise, appropriate referrals will be provided.

If there is reason to believe you are at risk of harming yourself or others.
-
If there is suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult.

Helpful questions to reflect on
Therapy... why now?
Reflect on some specific issues or challenges you’re facing and why you feel therapy might be helpful.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to have it all figured out! I’ll help guide you to answering these questions when we meet.
Goals?
Reflect on some of the ways you hope your story may be different with the support of a therapist.
For example, do you want to decrease how often you feel certain feelings in life or your relationships (e.g., Anxiety, Depression)?
Or maybe increase certain behaviors (e.g., work on making more friends or managing stress).
Expectations?
Reflect on the qualities of a therapist that you think will be most beneficial to help you reach your goals.
It will be my pleasure to describe my approach to you during our consultation and also briefly discuss how I can help you reach your goals.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. You don’t need to know the “right” words or even be sure what you need from therapy. That’s what we’ll explore together.
