Getting Scheduled

What we need from you

  • In order to get scheduled for online premarital counseling, we will need the following from you (whether you schedule online or by phone) your and your partner’s full name, email address, and phone number.
    • This information can also be entered online when scheduling through our secured client portal.
  • We do require you to make a $40 deposit to hold your intake session and this deposit goes toward your first session’s payment.
    • This $40 is refundable for canceled appointments and transferable for rescheduled appointments that are done with 24-hour notice. If you forget about your appointment and/or no-show, then your deposit is not refundable. This deposit goes towards your intake session fee, and the remaining balance will be paid after your intake session.

Things you can expect between scheduling and your session

  • After you get scheduled, you and your partner will need to complete an assessment that will score your strengths and areas of improvement.
  • In addition to the client portal forms you will complete, you will receive another link to complete a longer multiple-choice assessment that will let me know your strengths and areas of improvement.
  • This assessment will cost you $39 prior to you gaining access to the assessment. This cost will cover both of your assessments.
    • We will review the results during your first session.
    • This assessment will also help us tailor your premarital package to your relationship, based on the results.
  • We ask that you complete all documents 24 hours before your intake session. This allows for your intake couples session to be focused on your presenting issue.
  • Ten minutes before your session, you will receive a secured link for your video call. You can use this link to join in on your online couples therapy session.

What to expect during your first session

  • We will start off the first session by reviewing both of your results and begin to focus on your areas of growth. Modern Wellness Counseling does this by addressing these growth areas and providing you with worksheets to complete in-between sessions.
  • Next, we will discuss how treatment goals will be used to track changes while sessions progress.
  • Follow-up sessions will be focused on the different topics that we set during the first session.
  • We understand that your schedules may be busy and it is okay if you and your partner need to log in from a separate location. Your secured session link from your client portal will work for both you and your partner.
