Fill out the Paperwork
You will be set up with access to our patient portal and intake forms will be electronically provided to you. We can also send intake forms via snail mail or have you fill them out at your initial session if you prefer.
What to expect
Initial Intake: (50-60 minutes) Typically this first meeting is for adults only.
Discuss your concerns and your goals for your child, yourself and/or your family
Learn about The Coastal Center’s program procedures and processes
If applicable, discuss how to best transition your child to therapy
If it feels like a good fit, schedule a second session
For older adolescents, the clinician and parent might decide that it is best for the adolescent to visit independently instead of the initial parent meeting.
Subsequent sessions: Subsequent therapy sessions are typically 40-50 minutes.
Billing
Each session with a clinician is billed to your health insurance if we have a contract with that specific company
