Brief Intake Call
Before your first session, one of our team members will connect with you briefly by phone. This call typically lasts 10-15 minutes and gives us a chance to:
- Learn a little about what brought you to ICFT
- Match you with the therapist best suited to your needs
- Answer questions about scheduling, fees, and insurance
- Confirm whether in-person or telehealth sessions are the right fit for you
Step

Your First Appointment
Your first appointment is an assessment session. This is a collaborative conversation (not a test) designed to help us understand you and your situation more fully. The structure of the first appointment varies slightly depending on the type of therapy you’re seeking.
