Initial Intake Session (30-45 min)

Service Description

Usually intake sessions are longer and cost more. I see this as a barrier to therapy and have decided to change it up a bit. Let's plan on 30-45 minutes to determine what your needs are and what your treatment plan might look like. Do you need individual counseling? Somatic yoga integration? Group experiential sound baths for a felt sense of teaching your body to relax? Maybe Yoga Nidra is what you need to help you cultivate that interoceptive awareness that is fundamental to healing trauma? Usually intakes are filled with rapid-fire question after question that I find overwhelming, even as the clinician. So although I will send you an informed consent and intake forms, you only have to send back the informed consent. Feel free to fill the intake forms out to the level of completion you are comfortable with. I like to also send a couple of assessment instruments to get a baseline of feeling & functioning...usually an anxiety scale, depression scale, PTSD screening tool, and any other assessments I find helpful to get a better idea of where we are starting.
