We deeply value your time and commitment to your well-being, so we promise to get back to you as soon as possible with more details and next steps. In the meantime, here is what we would like you to know about next steps:
-
Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this question. Someone can be on our waiting list up to 6 months depending on a number of factors. We try to make the best fit based on client needs and the therapist's expertise. We might have a therapist with an opening but they don't have the right specialty for a particular client.
-
We understand that many people are hoping for an after school or afterwork appointment time. These "primetime" hours are very limited and are often already secured by an existing client. In addition, it's a very small portion of a therapist's work day (basically 3-4 hours) and sadly we cannot fill the number of people seeking therapy services in this narrow window of time.

as you will be placed on our waiting list. If you are able to be flexible with your schedule or your child's schedule (i.e. coming in for an appointment before 3pm), please let us know as we often have appointment times available throughout the week before 3pm.
-
Therapy sessions especially those with children and teens tend to start slowly as the client and counselor begin to build rapport. Over time, the methods, length, and frequency of sessions might vary depending on what you want therapy to address, your therapist’s clinical judgement and treatment recommendations, as well as the particular issues you are experiencing. Because of that, outpatient counseling at our practice begins weekly and we ask incoming clients to plan for a minimum of 8-10 sessions.
-
We received multiple requests on a daily basis for individuals seeking counseling for themselves or a loved one. We wish we could provide more services however we are limited by our current capacity. Please know we review referral requests on a daily basis trying to make a match and will do our best to provide you with a therapist.
