Your Path to Support Starts Here

How to Begin Therapy

Step 1

You start looking…

Maybe something shifts. Or maybe nothing has shifted- and that’s the problem. You begin with an online search: “therapists near me”. You read bios. Skim websites. You find yourself wondering if someone out there could really get what you’re going through, and if they did, you wonder if it will even be helpful.

You’re not just searching for a therapist. You’re searching for real help. As you are reading this, it’s likely you are already on the first step of your journey.

Keep going, you’ve got this!

Step 2

You reach out..

You’ve done your research, poked around, felt that little spark of “maybe this person could help.” So you reach out. Maybe with a little hesitation. Maybe with hope.

This part doesn’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to know exactly what to say. You just need to be willing to begin. A consult call is a soft place to land. A no-pressure conversation. A first hello.

Bring your questions. Bring your reasons. Or just bring yourself.

Come as you are. I’ll meet you there.

Step 3

You reflect…

At the end of our consultation, I won’t ask you to decide on the spot. I’ll never pressure you. Because this isn’t a sales pitch- it’s the start of a healthy therapeutic relationship.

After a consult call, whether it’s with just me, or several other therapists, give yourself the opportunity to reflect. Not just on what was said, but on how it felt. Did you feel comfortable? Seen? Able to exhale?

If the fit feels right, I trust you’ll know.

And when you're ready, you'll let me know.

Step 4

You know…

Something feels right. You’re ready to begin.

We’ll schedule your first therapy session and you’ll get access to my secure online client portal. Inside, you’ll find your intake paperwork; all in one place, confidential, and fully digital. No printing. No scanning. No overwhelm. Just a clear path forward.

This step is about preparation, but also affirmation: You’ve been showing up for everyone else, but something just shifted.

You are letting this be for you.

Step 5

You arrive!

You log on. We meet. You exhale. Something softens. This is what support feels like.

You realize: you don’t have to do it all alone anymore.

And you don’t.
