Some people are skeptical about going to therapy or counseling for the first time or going to a new psychotherapist when they do not know what to expect. I will attempt to delineate the process which my own clients can expect in order to eliminate any quandaries.
Office EnvironmentMy office is located in beautiful Farmington Hills, MI just off of the northwest corner of 13 Mile Rd. and Northwestern Highway in "The Offices of Woodcreek". The parking lot is easily accessible from 13 Mile Rd. or from Northwestern Highway. The office is on the main level right off of the main entrance which provides convenience for those who may be suffering from Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder or Claustrophobia. There are separate entrance and exit doors which provide an additional level of confidentiality. The inside of the office is a serene and calming environment which many clients describe as warm, friendly and professional.
Initial Visit
I usually request that all new patients arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill out some paperwork before the commencement of the session. You will be greeted in the waiting room by myself or by my administrative assistant. There are two forms that I have everyone fill out. The first form is a general information form that provides me with your name, address, employment info and insurance information. The second form outlines the policies and business practices to which I adhere and requires a signature stating that you understand those policies and will abide by them. After the paperwork is filled out, I will escort you from the waiting room to my office where we will begin our session.
