BEFORE YOU SCHEDULE
A few things to know.
It is a brief conversation to discuss fit, services, availability, and next steps.
A formal therapeutic relationship begins only after intake, consent, and scheduling.
For an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. In the U.S., you can also call or text 988.

What people often ask before scheduling.
Do both partners need to attend a couples consultation?
It is generally helpful for both partners to participate when possible, though we can discuss the best starting point based on your situation.
Do I need to choose the exact service before scheduling?

Can I schedule if I live outside Los Angeles?
Yes. Virtual therapy is available to clients located anywhere in California.
Will we begin therapy during the consultation?
