Requesting an initial consultation
The initial consultation with a clinical psychologist allows us to confirm treatment eligibility, identify current symptoms and challenges, as well as determine preliminary treatment goals. It also provides an opportunity for you to ask questions and ensure our approach is a good fit for you. If you and the psychologist decide to proceed, you will be invited to begin treatment.
To request an initial consultation (for yourself, a family member, or your patient), please complete our secure, HIPAA-compliant New Patient Inquiry form.

We provide patients with a monthly “superbill” listing all paid services that can be submitted to insurance companies for reimbursement.
