How It Works
The Teletherapy Process
Session One
Online Intake

- The point of this visit is to find out what brought you to therapy and how Holistic Consultation can help. This is intended to make the counseling process as easy and as smooth as possible.
- During this session, we also verify your insurance and set up your online scheduling portal, so you can schedule ongoing appointments as needed.
SESSION TWO & BEYOND
Online Therapy
- Together, you and your therapist will meet online.
- You and your therapist will use proven approaches to help you feel more supported, connected and feel more like yourself again.
- Together, you and your counselor will connect in a safe, comfortable space, all from the comfort of the location of your choice.
TERMINATION:
1-2 Final Sessions
In your final sessions, you will review your goals to ensure you are satisfied with your experience and that the work we have done together has met your expectations.
You will also outline a plan going forward so that you are able to retain what we have worked on together and implement all you have learned outside of session.
