Taking the first step can feel like the biggest one. Here is what you can expect:
The First Connection
The First Connection
Reach out to schedule a brief consultation which can last up to 15-minutes. This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation for us to meet and see if we’re the right fit for your needs and for you to ask any questions.
The Paperwork
The Paperwork
If we decide to move forward, I’ll send you digital paperwork to complete in the comfort of your own home. Because I am a private-pay provider, your care remains strictly between us. No insurance companies or outside parties will determine how many sessions you can have or have access to your private records. This allows us to focus entirely on your healing at a pace that feels right for you.
Set Up For The First Session
Set Up For The First Session
Since we meet virtually, you can join sessions from wherever you feel most comfortable. To protect your privacy and the quality of our work, you will just need:
A Private Space: A quiet spot where you can speak freely without interruptions. Confidentiality is a priority in my practice and is carefully maintained at every step of this process.
The Tech: A reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone (laptop, tablet, or smartphone).
A Safe Environment: Ethically and for your safety, I cannot conduct sessions while you are driving. If you are on the road, we will wait to start until you are parked in a safe, stationary location. (Please note that if we must reschedule because you are driving, a late cancellation fee will apply).
Our Sessions Begin
Our Sessions Begin
Once the logistics are settled, we’ll begin our 50-minute sessions. I will check in regularly to make sure telehealth is the most effective format for you. If it ever feels like it isn’t the right fit, we’ll discuss the best next steps for your care together.
Ready to take the first step and call for the brief consultation?
If I miss your call, leave a message with the following information:
Your name and a phone number to reach you.
If you give me permission to leave a voicemail if you do not answer.
If you prefer that I text you if you do not answer.
Please slowly repeat your phone number at the end of the message.
A Note on Callbacks:
I typically return calls within 1-2 business days, usually during the afternoon or early evening. For your confidentiality, I keep my voicemail or text messages brief (e.g., 'This is Miranda returning your call, please call me back at 828-214-5318'), and I won’t leave detailed information on a voicemail or in a text message.
