INITIAL CONTACT

When you contact Kid Connection Counseling you will be contacting Kimberly Green, LMFT directly, be it via phone, e-mail or the contact page.

If you contact her by e-mail, the contact form, or leave a confidential voice mail message, please be sure to leave the best way for her to contact you so that she may do so promptly.

During the initial conversation with Kimberly, you will be asked what the general concern is so that Kimberly can insure that she is able to assist you.  You will then be asked if you would like to take advantage of the free 30 minute consultation or if you would like to schedule an intake appointment.

THE FIRST APPOINTMENT

FREE 30 MINUTE CONSULTATION:

You may or may not bring your child/teen to this appointment, this will be left up to your comfort level and what you see as appropriate. This consultation is to allow you to meet with Kimberly in person to see if you feel you and your child will be comfortable working with her and to allow you to receive answers to  general questions about Kimberly (i,e. credentials, training & experience) and/or counseling in general. At the end of the consultation if you choose you can take home the paperwork to complete for the intake session.

INTAKE SESSION:

This session is 45 minutes, as are all other sessions.  If you have not already completed the necessary paperwork, you will be asked to do so prior to your session. Kimberly will then meet with you to determine what your concerns are. When meeting with your child, you may be present, unless your child is 13 or older and does not consent.

FUTURE SESSIONS

The frequency of your sessions can be discussed.  Typically it is best to be seen once a week at least until a good rapport is developed between Kimberly and your child/teen.  This level of frequency may not be feasible for everyone, and certainly other options are available.

Your appointments can be made either in advance, as some people like to insure a certain time slot, or from session to session.  If you ever need to cancel an appointment that is understandable.  24 hours advance notice is required for no charges to be assessed.
