At the first point of contact, we will arrange a 15-minute phone consultation with you. The purpose of this call is to gain a deeper understanding of your needs and to provide you with insights into the therapy process. Should you decide to proceed with therapy, we will send you a consent form to sign before your first session.

Your first scheduled session will serve as an intake session, during which your therapist will take the lead in delving into your background and experiences. This session covers various aspects of your life and plays a crucial role in establishing the therapeutic relationship, which is fundamental to the success of therapy. Together with your therapist, you will set individual goals for therapy, which will serve as the foundation for your ongoing sessions.

The scheduling of sessions is designed to accommodate your pace and availability, ensuring that they are tailored to meet your specific needs and goals.

At Glimmer Therapy, our team of therapists and family support clinicians bring a variety of expertise and therapeutics approaches to sessions in order to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

During the 15 minute consultation call, we want to hear about your specific needs, goals and therapy preferences. This allows us to carefully match you with a therapist that aligns best with your unique needs. We also provide insight into what therapy entails and address any questions you may have. Rest assured, there is no pressure to commit, and the choice to embark on the therapeutic journey is entirely yours to make.

Therapy sessions are 60 minutes including 10 minutes of documentation time. For couples and family therapy, we also offer the option of 90 minute sessions including 10 minutes of documentation time. The frequency of counseling is determined in collaboration between you and your therapist, taking into account your schedule and goals.
