Because connection with your potential therapist matters

Your connection with your therapist is a huge indicator of how much you get out of therapy. We offer free 15 minute consultations because we want you to get a feel for the connection before you’d commit to it. We talk about what you want to get out of therapy and if you’d believe we are a good match with the right availability for you. We want you to get your questions out and some of the nerves quelled even before seeing us!
