How to Get Started
Step 1:
Book Your Free 30-Minute Consultation Call
The first step in starting your therapy journey is to book a free 30-minute consultation call with Dr. Stephanie Simon, our clinical director. During this call, we’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy and help determine if one of our therapists is the right fit for you. If we don't have a match, we'll provide you with trusted external referrals.
​
Please note: We are an out-of-network provider for all insurance companies, meaning you'll pay for sessions out of pocket and can seek reimbursement from your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits.
Step 2:
Schedule Your
First Session
After confirming that we’re the right fit for you, we’ll schedule your first therapy session. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care to help you work through your challenges and achieve the healing and growth you’re seeking.
Step 3:
Begin Your
Therapeutic Process
In your first session, we’ll explore the specific challenges and dynamics within your family. Our therapists will work with you to understand the underlying emotional and relational issues that may be contributing to conflict, communication breakdowns, or tension within the family. We’ll begin developing a personalized treatment plan to address your concerns, enhance understanding between family members, and create healthier ways of relating. With ongoing support, we’ll help you navigate complex family dynamics, strengthen relationships, and foster greater emotional connection and resilience within your family unit.
