We understand that coming to counseling for the first time can be intimidating, so first and foremost, we are proud of you for having the courage to take this first step in seeking help! Our hope is to alleviate as many pre-session jitters as possible and to help you to feel safe, comfortable, and prepared by walking you through the process ahead of time. 

Prior to the day of your appointment, you will receive an email prompting you to complete your initial paperwork electronically. We use a HIPAA-compliant electronic health records system called SimplePractice, which allows us to handle informed consent, intake questionnaires, scheduling, billing, and more through one convenient service. 

For telehealth appointments:

All telehealth sessions will be conducted through the SimplePractice platform. Prior to your appointment, you will receive an email with a link to the video call. Please log on 5-10 minutes early to verify that your technology is working correctly. Additionally, please ensure that you are in a safe, private space where you can communicate openly and without interruption. Jaime will log on at the scheduled time, and the two of you will spend your 50-minute session getting to know one another, addressing any questions that you may have, discussing key information from your intake paperwork, and establishing goals for your continued work together.
