What to Expect

Consultation

Clients have the option to schedule a free 30-minute consultation before choosing to start therapy at Collaborative Counseling. This is usually done via telehealth but can be in person, space-permitting on my in-office day.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

Getting Started

Before the first session clients fill out necessary paperwork through my secure, HIPAA compliant portal (Simple Practice). This will typically take about 10-15 minutes.

In the first session (intake session) I invite clients to share basic background information about themselves and their needs, and I answer any questions clients have. This session is 60 minutes in length. If we have not covered everything in this first session, I fill in missing pieces gradually as we move forward with therapy.

The Office

I share office space with two other therapists in a comfortable, welcoming office in Woodinville.

I have the office on Mondays and Friday afternoons only. The office is ADA accessible.

Telehealth

Telehealth is convenient, confidential and HIPAA compliant. Before your first session I send you a link to the telehealth platform called Doxy.me. You will use this link each time you have a session. I advise clients to make sure they set aside a quiet space that gives them privacy.
