Getting in Touch
There are a few ways to reach me. You can call my office at (603) 722-2776, or fill out the brief “Contact Me” form, located at the top of this website. If you do not reach me immediately by phone, please leave a message on my confidential voicemail with your contact information. You will typically receive a response within 1-2 business days.
My practice manager or I will get in touch with you to determine what services you may need, and whether I am the best person to provide these services to you. We will be happy to answer any questions you have about therapy or my practice. We can discuss whether other family members (spouses, children) should attend the first appointment with you, depending on your situation.
You have the option to hold your therapy sessions via Telehealth or in the office. We will discuss your preference with you before the first appointment.
First Appointment
You might feel nervous for our first appointment – that’s very common! Many times, people feel better immediately after the first session. It can help just to talk about the problem, and know that I am here to help you.
There will be paperwork for you to complete prior to the appointment. I use a secure, HIPPA-compliant Electronic Medical Records program which allows you to easily access, review, and sign the documents via your computer, tablet, or Smartphone. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have before signing.
During the first appointment, in order to help me understand how I can help you, I will ask you a lot of questions about you/your child’s history and the issues that brought you to therapy. Some of the questions may not apply to your situation, and that’s okay.
After the First Appointment
I consider the first 1-3 sessions as an evaluation of your needs. At the end of the evaluation, I will share some thoughts with you about what our work together will look like. If you begin therapy with me, we will decide together how often to meet- it may be weekly, every other week, or less than that. Every client is different, so we will schedule appointments based on what makes sense for you. Also, we may meet for a few months, several months, or longer, depending on your needs. If you need referrals to other providers at any time during evaluation or treatment, I will be happy to help you with this.
