What to Expect
- Contact Our Office: When you reach out, our caring team of administrative professionals will assist you with finding the right fit therapist, booking a session, and guiding you through the process to get started with Onyx.
- Initial Session: Your therapeutic journey begins with an in-depth session where you and your therapist will meet to understand your goals, challenges, and background. Good therapeutic outcomes rely on the therapeutic relationship. This is where you will begin to establish a safe, secure, and trusting relationship with your therapist. If it doesn’t feel like a fit, you can switch to a different therapist who feels comfortable and is a good match for you.
