BEGINNING THERAPY · FIELD NOTE 06
You don’t need to know exactly what to say.
You can begin with a question, a few tangled thoughts, or a simple sense that something needs to change. Our first conversation is just that—a conversation.
Please keep your first text brief and leave out sensitive clinical details.
01 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
A BEGINNING, NOT AN AUDITION
Three small steps.
No perfect opening line.
We’ll talk briefly.
We’ll discuss what brings you here, what you’re looking for, and any questions you have. The point is to notice whether working together feels like a good fit.
We’ll sort the logistics.
Before your first session is scheduled, insurance benefits are verified. Then you’ll receive intake paperwork and session details through a secure client portal.
THE PRACTICAL PARTICULARS
A few things you may want to know.
Individual therapy
For young adults and adults. Sessions are generally 60 minutes.
West Dundee
In-person sessions in a private, comfortable office with a river view.
Across Illinois
Secure telehealth for adults located anywhere in Illinois.
Insurance
In network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage and benefits vary by plan, so I’ll verify yours before scheduling—because deciphering insurance fine print should not be your first therapeutic assignment.
WHEN YOU’RE READY
Start with one sentence.
Tell me you’re interested. We can take it from there.
