New Client Information
Beginning therapy is a meaningful step, and it's normal to feel unsure about what comes next. This page walks you through exactly how to get started, what to expect in your first session, and how I support new clients at Evergreen Therapy. My goal is to make the process simple, clear, and grounded - so you can focus on what brought you here.

If you are unsure whether your situation fits, the initial consultation session is where we will explore that together.
- Adults 18+

- Individuals navigating anxiety, substance use, or major life transitions
- Mississippi residents
If you are unsure whether your situation fits, the initial consultation session is where we will explore that together.
How to Get Started
Step One: Schedule a Free Consultation
This brief session with one another gives us space to discuss what you're facing, what you're hoping for, and whether we are a good fit to work together towards your goals. You can ask questions, share concerns, or simply get a feel for my approach to therapy.
Step Two: Schedule Intake Session and Complete Intake Paperwork
If we decide to move forward, we will schedule your first therapy session, and you will receive secure online forms through your client portal. They are simple private and designed to help me understand your needs before we began the therapy process.
Step Three: Your First Session
Your first session is a calm, structured conversation where we explore your goals, your story, and what you want to change. You don't need to prepare anything - just come as you are.
Step Four: Ongoing Sessions
Therapy continues at a pace that the clinician feels is the most clinically appropriate and that also works for you. We will check in regularly to make sure the work we are doing feels meaningful and aligned with your goals.
