Your First Visit Registration
Please arrive 10 minutes early for your first appointment to complete paperwork and meet with a registration team member. You can also complete the new client form below. Please bring a form of I.D., proof of income and your insurance card.
Your First Visit Intake
During your intake appointment, you will meet with an Intake therapist or Psychiatric provider. You will be asked questions about your symptoms, stressors, medical and psychiatric history, alcohol or drug use, and background information. This information allows the therapist to get to know you and your needs.
Your Next Appointment
After your intake appointment, you will meet with a Care coordinator to schedule your next appointment which could include group therapy, individual therapy and/or medication management. The Care coordinator will also ask for your participation in a short survey to meet our CCBHC requirement, and they can also provide you with some resources until your next appointment.
