After the initial phone conversation, you will receive an email with the forms to be completed prior to your first appointment. We may be conducting virtual intake appointments, therapy, and feedback sessions, but will let you know prior to your appointment. During your first appointment, you will enter the building and take a seat in the waiting room. Someone will be with you as soon as possible.

When you contact us, we will conduct a brief 15 minutes free consultation to determine the services that best meets your needs. Please keep in mind there is a great need for our specialized services, but we will do our best to accomodate you. Many clients would like to meet after school and in the evenings, so daytime flexibility will increase your chances of getting an appointment. Please note we will do our best to accomodate time-sensitive, urgent needs whenever possible.
