NEW CLIENTS
First Steps on This Path
I work through a few companies, mainly Rula* and Headway*. They cover the insurance verification, billing insurance, required forms and policies, etc. Â
Â
When you follow the links above, they will take you to my page. On that page, there will be a 'Book a Session' button on the right.
​
When you sign-up, they will have you do an initial questionnaire about your state (Hawaii), your insurance, your preferences and needs.Â
​
After getting an appointment, they will send you the intake and screening tools about 2 days prior to the first session. They will also send reminder emails around 3 days and 1 day prior to the appointment.
* Although I work with a few companies, once you select one we stay on that one. It becomes messy if someone starts on one and then moves to another. I don’t have a preference for any of the platforms I am on.
What To Expect
Our first 1-3 sessions are outlined below. I also have a page of FAQs that should help.
Goal Setting
Identification of patterns and themes to address, ensuring our sessions align with the growth you seek.
The Connection
We focus on your story and current needs, establishing a foundation of trust and understanding in our digital space.
Path Forward
Development of a collaborative treatment plan designed to provide clarity and tangible steps toward healing.
Telehealth Essentials
Telehealth allows us to connect safely and conveniently from anywhere in Hawaii. It is a secure, effective way to engage in psychotherapy that fits into your daily life without the need for travel.
