Getting Started with Counseling

You may feel a bit uneasy coming to a therapist or even making that first contact, I want to assure you that I am super easy to talk to.

Below is the link to find the basic therapy info on my practice in Chestnut Hill, PA. Please read it before contacting me to ensure we are a fit.

If you’ve already booked an appointment with me, you understand that therapists are required to gather before we begin the counseling process and so you understand and agree to the process. I try to keep it user friendly and manageable.

When we meet, so we can focus more of our time on the therapy session, please complete the initial session packet to provide to me at least 24 hrs. prior to your first counseling meeting.

  • Please keep a copy of the last 4 pgs for you to keep for your reference too. This section is called Informed Consent.
  • If coming for couples counseling, marriage therapy, or family counseling, each person needs to complete the forms.

Therapy sessions can be virtual, in person or a hybrid. For on-line therapy sessions we use VSEE Clinic. I will send you the link before we start if using virtual counseling.

Free parking available directly out front or across the street or on nearby side streets.

Enter the blue door, don’t knock, wait room is on the right.

Help yourself to cold beverages in the fridge that looks like a Mad Men era cabinet.
