Online Scheduling

First-Time Appointments

Your first contact with us will be to schedule an initial screening appointment.

What's an Initial Screening Appointment?

These appointments are typically scheduled within two business days. During this short initial screening appointment, the counselor will gather additional information from you, get a clearer picture of your needs, and begin to plan with you the most appropriate course of action. At times, this could involve a referral to group therapy, individual therapy, or a community provider who may better serve your needs.

Please note, the counselor who you have for your initial screening appointment may not be the same counselor you have in counseling. However, once you begin the counseling process you will continue to see the same person.
