beginning together
Please review the following information before beginning together.making an appointment
Please contact me at 206.353.9266 or at shannon@speakingpink.com to schedule an appointment or discuss questions you may have about beginning therapy together. I'm glad to provide a FREE 15-minute initial phone consultation.
our first meeting together
As we begin our relationship, it’s helpful for me to have introductory information about you and your goals for therapy. Also, state law requires a therapy contract and disclosure form are completed prior to working together. If forms cannot be downloaded below, please arrive 15 minutes early the day of your first appointment to complete this information.
Tweens and Teens (Under Age 18) Individuals under 13 years old require parent or guardian permission to engage in therapeutic services. While clients over the age of 13 may give their own consent for therapy, it is my hope to request both the child or adolescent and his/her parent or guardian consent for therapy as well. If you are over the age of 13 years old and you would prefer to not inform your parent or guardian of your desire to begin therapy, please contact me and we can talk further about your particular situation. Please review and complete the following documents: (1) Adolescent Initial Appointment Form, (2) Therapy Contract and Disclosure, and (3) Privacy Practices.
Adults (Age 18 and Older) Please review and complete the following documents: (1) Adult Initial Appointment Form, (2) Therapy Contract and Disclosure, and (3) Privacy Practices
payment and insurance
I’m glad to provide statements of our time together for insurance reimbursement should coverage be applicable. If you'd like to utilize insurance, please confirm coverage prior to our first meeting together. In order to determine eligibility, your provider will need to know (1) I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington State and (2) I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
