Getting Started
Finding the right counselor that best suites your needs in a saturated market can be daunting. How can you know which one to choose?
Perhaps you have found yourself scrolling through dozens of counselor’s profiles trying to figure out if they will be the best option for you, but you’re still not sure where to start.
Scheduling a free 15-minute consultation can help ensure you find the best counselor that suites your needs.
It can provide an opportunity to speak with a counselor prior to making any decisions while helping ease apprehension or uncertainties you may have about starting counseling.
At Hope Seay Counseling your time and resources are valued and we want you to be paired with the right counselor for you. Click on the link and follow the instructions to get scheduled for a free 15-minute consultation:
During your free 15-minute consultation, we’ll keep things focused and supportive so you can decide if Hope Seay Counseling is the right fit for you.
Some things to consider before and during the consultation are:
“Do I like the counselor?”
“Do I enjoy being in their presence?”
“Are they available when I need to see them?”
“Do I think they can help me?”
What we’ll cover
Brief introductions: I’ll introduce myself and you’ll have a chance to say a little about who you are.
Practical details: I’ll explain how I work (therapeutic approach, faith integration), session options (in-person in Murfreesboro or virtual across Tennessee), scheduling, fees, and insurance/telehealth logistics if applicable.
Questions you may have: You will be able to ask me any additional questions you may have that can help determine whether I’m the right counselor for you.
Next steps: If it feels like a good fit, we’ll discuss appointment options and how to get started. If not, I’ll help you consider other referrals or resources.
After meeting with me, if you are ready to schedule your first visit, I will collect your insurance information and run your benefits. (If you would like to get ahead, you can contact my billings specialists at 1-800-789-5761 ext. 107 and they can start running benefits for you before we have a consultation). A client portal will be opened where you can review and fill out paperwork, send and receive private messages between you and your counselor, request counseling visits, join virtual sessions, and utilize other helpful tools.
At the onset on your counseling journey, you will be provided with your own digital copy of My Counseling Notebook. This is a document you can use during your counseling sessions to help ensure you are progressing towards your goals. We will talk more about how to use the notebook during your first visit.
Getting matched with the right counselor is imperative for your success. It is helpful to start counseling with confidence knowing you have been properly matched with the best counselor for you.
A free 15-minute consultation can provide you with the opportunity to interview various counselors and get your questions answered. Doing so can result in you feeling good, hopeful, and maybe even a little excited about starting counseling.
Let’s get in touch and explore together how counseling can help you make the changes you want to make and reach your goals.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your time and take care!
Hope
