Your first session
What happens before, during and after
You do not need to prepare anything or bring a list.
Step 1: Before
We confirm by phone or email. Intake forms live in the practice's own portal, linked in your confirmation, and not on this site. If you pay without insurance, you receive your Good Faith Estimate in writing.
Step 2: During
Fifty minutes with your clinician, your teen and the family. We explain how we work, what stays private and where privacy has limits, and ask what a hard day at the table looks like for you.
Step 3: After
We agree on a plan for the next few weeks. With your written permission, we contact your teen's pediatrician.
In the room
A quiet room, and no rush
The first session is for getting to know each other.
No one is asked to eat, be weighed or tell the whole story. Your clinician listens, explains and lets your family set the pace.
