Getting Started TEMP

Wendy Shami in her officeBefore your first visit, we’ll talk on the phone so you’ll have an opportunity to see how comfortable you are. If you decide to pursue this with a first meeting, please fill out the intake form by clicking the button below.

It’s reimbursable

You’ll pay for your psychotherapy out-of-pocket, but you can get reimbursement from your employee plan if it includes the appropriate benefits. You’ll need to check your policy to see what kind of reimbursement you can expect to receive.

What to expect in our initial meeting

We may discuss what has brought you to my office and how we might work together.  We may dive right in.  We’ll both have questions for each other. It’s about getting acquainted; you’re still deciding if this is right for you. As a matter of interest – most people find that the issue they mention first is not the one we end up focusing on!

Going forward

Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes in length, although some people find that longer sessions work better.  Sessions are typically once a week, though this can vary.
