Taking the Next Steps Towards Mental Well-Being
How It Works
Reaching out to understand your therapy options is the first step in taking control of your mental health journey. Our certified and experienced psychiatrists are dedicated to providing you with the support and guidance you need to take charge of your mental well-being. Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Contact our team
Whether you call in or submit a form, a dedicated team member in your area will reach out to chat with you. They will review your unique situation, history, preferences, and scheduling needs to find a clinician who can best support your goals. They will also help you to understand your insurance benefits and walk you through our paperwork.
Step 2: Return paperwork
You will receive a link to complete the admissions paperwork. We value your time and have worked to simplify these forms. Returning this paperwork promptly will help our team to support you efficiently. For most people, the process takes between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.
Step 3: Begin your journey
That’s it—all that will be left for you is to show up to your appointment, whether virtual or in-person, to begin working with a therapist who cares about your success. Therapeutic support needs vary based on your diagnosis, issues, and goals for the future. Our clinicians provide support therapy to help individuals through crisis, behavioral modification strategies for improved functioning, skills training for social and communication problems, and goal setting.
