Getting started

Tell us what you're looking for.

A few questions help us tell quickly whether we're the right fit, so we can answer you with something better than a form letter. One of our clinicians will read what you write and contact you personally. If our schedules are full, this is also how we hold your place.

What to expect

What we ask, and why

Format, schedule, and fee: the practical questions that decide whether we can work together. What brings you here can wait for the conversation.

A personal reply

One of us reads every inquiry — not an automated message — and will be in touch about fit and next steps.

A confirmation, right away

You'll receive an email confirming we have your inquiry.

Your privacy

What you share here goes directly to our own secure practice system. No third party receives it.
