What to expect at Blue Lotus Therapy & Wellness
It can be both scary and exciting to start something new. Sometimes, the 'unknowns' can get in the way of taking the next step. Hopefully, the information provided here will provide comfort as you move forward with the next steps in your journey to a better you. I'm so glad you're here!
You have some options for what you can do next.
-
I offer a free 15-30min consultation so we can chat before you commit to therapy. This is a time for you to ask questions, express concerns, and for us to get to know each other. There is no pressure to schedule an appointment after your consultation.
-
If you're feeling great and want to skip the consultation you can move forward with contacting me to schedule an intake together.
I'm ready...what happens next?
Utilizing a virtual space for therapy allows us to connect from anywhere as long as you are located in VA. This eliminates commute time to physical office space, sometimes takes the pressure off finding a sitter if needed, and allows us to work through challenges in a familiar space. For our sessions, we will utilize Zoom for healthcare providers. This ensures that our sessions are secure and HIPAA compliant. You will be given a secure link to attend your scheduled appointments.
How does Telehealth work?
You have taken the leap and are on my schedule (yay!). The next step will involve paperwork for you to complete electronically before our first appointment. This will include a brief questionnaire, contact information, and documentation consenting to services.
​
** If you are having difficulty completing the paperwork, please let me know so we can do it together at the beginning of our first appointment.
I'm on your schedule... now what?
During our first appointment, I will guide you through a series of questions to get to know you. I'll make sure the paperwork is completed and answer any questions you might have. We'll then discuss your history, current challenges, and goals for our time together. Lastly, we will discuss what our time together will look like and the expectations of the process.
