What to Expect
I offer a free 20-minute consultation over the phone to help us determine if we are a good match. This consultation allows you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have, learn more about my style and approach, and also allows me to get information about what is bringing you into therapy. If we don’t seem like a good fit, I will gladly offer you referrals.
During this session, I will collect background information, work to better understand your current stressors, and learn more about your goals for treatment. At this time, we will discuss a meeting plan to begin ongoing psychotherapy. Most clients meet once weekly for 45-50 minute sessions, but we can decide together if you would like to increase the number of weekly sessions.
I offer both in-person and online sessions. I use a HIPAA-compliant platform for us to continue or begin our work. Intake intake forms will be sent to you via email, and before beginning treatment, you will need to review, sign, and scan/email the intake forms to my work email.
Please contact me for a free consultation at Lara@DrLaraZappaterra.com or (858) 245-6768. I look forward to hearing from you.
