The Process
What Happens After You Reach Out
No surprises. Here's exactly what to expect from your first message to your first session.
You Reach Out
Submit the intake form, call, text, or email — whichever feels right. If you use the form, it takes about 3 minutes. If you call or text, we'll gather the information we need during our conversation.
We Follow Up Within One Business Day
A real member of our client care team will reach out to confirm receipt, answer any questions, and let you know next steps. No automated responses — a real person who knows our practice.
⏱ Usually same day or next morningWe Verify Your Insurance
Before scheduling, we confirm your insurance coverage and benefits so there are no billing surprises. We accept most major plans. If you're self-pay, we'll walk you through our rates.
💡 Don't have your member ID? That's okay — just put N/AIntake Paperwork Is Completed
Before your first appointment is scheduled, you'll complete a brief set of intake forms through our secure client portal. This protects you and helps your therapist prepare to make your first session count.
You Get Scheduled
Once everything is in place, we'll match you with the right therapist and get your first appointment on the calendar. In-person at our Billings office or via telehealth — your choice.
No pressure. No commitment.
Common Concerns — Answered.
Am I committing to anything?
Not at all. Reaching out just starts a conversation. There's no obligation to schedule — we'll answer your questions and let you decide at your own pace.
Will my insurance be accepted?
We accept most major insurance plans including BCBS, Aetna, Medicaid, Medicare, and more. We'll verify your coverage before you schedule — no surprises.
Is my information kept private?
Absolutely. All information shared through our intake process is handled with full HIPAA-compliant confidentiality. Your privacy is protected from your first message.
How do I know which therapist is right?
That's our job. Our team will ask about your needs and preferences and match you with the therapist on our team best suited to what you're working through.
How long until I can be seen?
Most clients are matched and scheduled quickly — no waitlist for most insurance plans. The main factor is completing intake paperwork, which we'll walk you through.
Do I have to come in person?
Nope. We offer both in-person sessions at our Billings office and telehealth for anyone located in Montana. Many clients prefer telehealth for the flexibility.
