During this 20 minute phone call  you and I will delve into your reasons for seeking therapy. I'll ask you questions to gain an understanding of your background, current challenges, and therapeutic goals. This time also allows you to inquire about my approach and experience, ensuring a good fit. Ultimately, the consultation is necessary for you to determine if the collective vibe is right, if I am competent with your intersectional identity, as well as competent in the areas in which you need support. It's also an opportunity for me to understand if I can provide the support you're looking for, and if not, to aid you in finding other clinicians by providing you with some referrals.
