STARTING YOUR JOURNEY WITH AURORA PSYCHOTHERAPY
NEW CLIENTS
What to expect from therapy
Beginning therapy is an opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. Our sessions will be a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Therapy is a collaborative process—your goals and needs will guide our work together. Whether you are seeking relief from distress, greater self-awareness, or improved relationships, we will move at a pace that feels right for you.
How to prepare
Reflect on Your Goals – Consider what you hope to gain from therapy. Are there specific challenges, emotions, or experiences you’d like to work through?
Complete Intake Forms – Before your first appointment, you’ll receive paperwork to fill out. This helps provide a foundation for our work together.
Arrive with Openness – Therapy is most effective when approached with curiosity and a willingness to explore different perspectives.
Consider Your Schedule – Regular attendance allows for deeper progress, so think about what frequency of sessions will work best for you.

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
Do I have mental health benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
Is prior authorization/approval required?

If you have not notified me at least 24 hours in advance you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
I fully understand how difficult it can be to keep a fixed schedule, therefore, I will try and offer you another session time during the same week. My goal is not for a cancellation fee to be a punishment, but rather that a focus on continuity and mutual respect be maintained throughout the treatment process.
