Getting Started With Counseling
Taking the First Step Doesn’t Have to Feel Complicated
Reaching out for counseling can feel intimidating.
You may have questions about what to expect, wonder whether therapy will actually help, or feel unsure about which therapist is right for you.
You don’t have to have all the answers before you contact us.
At Laurel Tree Counseling, we’ll help you take the process one step at a time.
You bring what you’re experiencing. We’ll help you figure out where to begin.
Step 1: Reach Out
Getting started begins with a simple conversation.
Contact us through our website, phone, or email to let us know you’re interested in counseling.
You don’t need to provide your entire story. A few details about what you’re looking for and the type of support you need are enough to get the conversation started.
If you’re not sure which therapist would be the best fit, that’s okay.
We can help.
Step 2: Schedule a Consultation
We offer a brief consultation to learn more about what you’re looking for and answer your questions.
This is an opportunity for you to get a feel for our practice and determine whether Laurel Tree Counseling may be a good fit.
You can ask about:
- Our approach to counseling
- Areas of specialization
- Virtual counseling
- Scheduling
- Fees and insurance
- What to expect from your first session
- Which therapist may be the best fit for you
