Your first steps
You do not need the perfect words.
Starting counseling can feel like a big decision. The first conversation is simply a chance to ask questions and see whether working together may feel right.
1. Call or email
Ask about an opening or a free 15-minute consultation. For a callback, leave your first name, phone number, and a safe time to call. Please leave private health details out of email and voicemail.
Prefer a form? Request a callback.
2. Talk through the basics
We can discuss your questions, our approach, fees, and current availability. Ask about meeting at the Jackson office or online while you are in Michigan. You can take time to decide.
3. Confirm your appointment
If we are a good fit and an opening is available, we explain scheduling, consent, privacy, payment, and any forms to complete. Reaching out does not confirm an appointment or create a counselor-client relationship.
4. Begin at your pace
Your first session is a place to talk about what has been happening and what you would like to change. You do not have to tell your whole story at once.
Visits are by appointment only. Find the office or review fees and your Good Faith Estimate rights.
