How to get started with Talk Remedy Therapy
Take a moment and read this section to get oriented on how to move from reading a webpage, to sitting together for our first meeting. My goal is to make this process as seamless as possible for you!
Phone Consultation
By phone I will review three pieces of information from you:
- Are you seeking couples therapy? I only work with couples conjointly, I don’t do individual therapy.
- We will review scheduling and payment details.
- I will collect basic contact information for both partners (full names, email addresses, dates of birth) so that I can send you my paperless intake forms.
Pre-session Paperwork
I will email you a link my intake forms using a HIPPA compliant web portal. Follow the link to the web portal to complete the forms listed there. These forms must be totally completed within 2 days or the link will expire. If paperwork has not been completed by the time of the appointment we will reschedule; I must have your written consent to begin treatment before we can meet.
If we are to meet via Telehealth I will send you a link to my virtual waiting room through the platform Doxy. You and your partner can be in the same location or in separate locations for this call.
Initial Session
Intake and Assessment includes 4 parts
- Review practice policies and client confidentiality
- Each of you will be asked to give a brief statement of why you are seeking marriage therapy and what you hope to focus on. Often two partners will have a different take on this.
- I will ask you a set of questions to gather your relationship history to give me a context for where your relationship is at currently.
- I will give my feedback. I will share with you what I have learned so far about what would be helpful to you, and talk through my initial ideas about what we could do moving forward. This is so you have a reasonable idea of what therapy would look like and how we will make progress.
This process may take one appointment or it may spill over to a second appointment.
A happy and thriving marriage is possible for every couple
