When you call to set up an appointment, the first person you speak with will be a member of our scheduling team! Our scheduling team spends a lot of time getting to know all of our therapists and their specialties, therapy styles, and personalities. When you call, the scheduling team member you speak with will gather information to get to know you and the circumstances bringing you into therapy. We then make our best efforts to set you or your child up with the best-fit therapist for your specific needs, goals, and resources.
