Additional Psychotherapy Session Options:

Our waitlist is a result of our school-aged population requiring after 3pm time slots. We have developed two additional treatment options to help shorten our wait times.

Short-Term Psychotherapy: Short-term treatment is typically more goal-oriented than long-term therapy and tends to focus on specific challenges. Short-term therapy tends to last from about 1-10 sessions, or 1-3 months. The therapist would assess your needs at the first session and determine if you would be a candidate for short-term therapy.

ASAP Intake Evaluation: We have immediate openings for Intake Evaluations. These sessions are 60-minutes long and are used to establish goals, ask questions, identify referrals to other specialities, and collaborate on short-term solutions. Intake appointments are available during the day (M-F, 9-2pm) and are an opportunity to receive an assessment as soon as possible. After Intake, you would return to the waitlist until a weekly or biweekly therapy slot opened with one of our clinicians that matches your schedule availability. Intakes can be seen in-person or via Telehealth.
