What to expect

Your first session

A first session is a conversation, not a test. It lasts 50 minutes.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Before you come

    You get your fee in writing, and a link to our intake forms on our own portal. Please do not send medical details through this website.

  2. 02

    Step 2: The first conversation

    You say what you want from therapy, what pace feels right and what you want to leave alone for now. You do not have to tell your story, and you do not have to mention faith.

  3. 03

    Step 3: How we would work

    Your clinician explains the method, what it asks of you and what it can stir up, and then you decide whether to go on.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Before you leave

    We take time to settle, agree on a next step and answer questions about fees and cancellation.

Questions

About the first session

Do I have to be religious, or talk about faith?

No. Faith comes up only if you want it to, and other beliefs, or none, are just as welcome.

Who will I see?

Reyna Montoya sees every client herself. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist.

Is there anything to prepare?

Nothing special. If you are coming in person, tell us if anything would make the visit easier.
