Couples Therapy (New Client) Intake Form for Individuals in Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy Clients: If you are inquiring about couples therapy with Heather, please have each individual in the relationship complete the form above at least two business days prior to your initial couples session. After you each complete the form, the system will email you instructions for requesting a time to schedule, information about cost of services, payment, privacy, and policies.
What to expect for your first three sessions: The Couples Assessment & Referral Window
By 1-3 couples therapy sessions, generally, I typically have observed and gathered enough information to offer feedback about what recommendations, potential referrals, and modalities are likely to be most effective to the couple, in meeting their needs and goals in therapy. I do not accept every potential couples client, and do consider our first three sessions an assessment and observation window for referrals that better align with the couple than my own style or approach. Please note: recommendations or referrals I suggest are only suggestions, and offered only if appropriate and indicated in accordance with the ethics policies of the counseling profession. My goal is to ensure that I provide every client with support, information, resources, and therapy that is best suited, holistically, for them and their relationship.
What to expect at your first couples therapy session:
I positively cannot emphasize enough how couples therapy sessions aren't "just" for when you're feeling off, or disconnected, or even in conflict. These sessions and their held consistency on a weekly basis, ideally, is equally as valuable to a couples' long-term goals and to their engagement in therapy as sessions are when the couple is working actively on something like conflict resolution, or are dysregulated. We rebuild, repair, and continue to understand, study, and practice the art of showing up for ourselves and each other by maintaining consistency with couples therapy.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email [email protected] for a response within 24 hours. Please note, no appointments held are guaranteed after 24 hours and appointment availability is limited.

What to expect at your first couples therapy session:
- A respectful, kind, unbiased, perspective and non-judgmental environment fostered by your therapist.
- A review of paperwork, approach, process, and other pertinent information to therapy and scheduling.
- Expectations and hopes you each have for therapy and your
relationship. - Time for you each to share what is on your minds, and what is important to you.
