Please help me using the methods you determine are best suited to my needs, preferences, and goals.
While we will eventually gather enough health information in the shorter appointments to guarantee a comprehensive plan for your health growth and success, it can be more efficient to have adequate time at the start to gather what we need to feel confident in addressing your unique situation. That is the purpose of this Intake appointment.
Although the other appointments are lower-cost ways for new patients to have an initial experience with us, if you are reasonably sure you want to be supported in addressing a long-term health goal or concern, we can strongly recommend starting here, or with the introductory visits option below.
This longer appointment may be done virtually, and includes a systems assessment where we get to understand more about your systems, your primary goal (s) or concern (s), health and medical history, and the approach that our practice takes to help.
This appointment may also include (based on patient preference and need): bodywork therapy or movement therapy, helping to improve circulation, relaxation, and to commit the conversational learning to memory.
This appointment will also most likely include health education and coaching on a concrete step to immediately help with feeling better: less pain, more comfort, less distraction, more focus, and less fear and nervousness, more calm and more contentedness.
We may meet 1-2 additional times before a comprehensive plan is developed, at which point we will present it to you in virtual and printed form, at which point you are welcome to take the time you need to find the best way forward for you.
You will receive a detailed and color-printed treatment plan which will include: a) Summary of the chief concerns reframed into extremely specific steps and goals; b) the primary and secondary changes we expect to occur, and by when we expect to see them c) a few different options for treatment, our explanation of the pros and cons of each approach, and why we think the proposed path is the best one, d) investment totals, and packages that will save you time and money. e) educational materials and resources
