Reach out to our intake team today to connect with a therapist at CPEH who can help you process your loss and find support during this challenging time.
Self-referrals are welcome—you do not need a doctor’s referral to get started. We also gladly accept referrals from other healthcare professionals.
Once we receive your referral, a member of our intake team will reach out to schedule a brief phone intake. During this call, we’ll ask for some basic information such as your name, age, and a summary of the concerns you'd like support with. We may also ask about any past emotional or psychological challenges to help us understand your needs more fully.
The goal of this intake call is to ensure you’re matched with a therapist who is best equipped to support you. After the call, we’ll recommend a clinician whose expereince aligns with your goals and concerns.
To get started, we ask new clients to schedule a brief 15-minute intake call. During this call, we'll gather some basic details like your availability, but more importantly, we'll chat about your general mental health or relationship history and what you'd like to focus on in therapy. This helps us recommend the best clinician for your unique needs. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and supportive as possible—because finding the right fit is the first step toward meaningful change.
Unless otherwise discussed, therapy sessions are 50 minutes in length. The remaining 10 minutes of the hour are used by your therapist to review your file and complete session notes, which are important for tracking your progress and planning future sessions. If at any point you feel that a longer session would be helpful, you’re welcome to speak with your therapist about that option.
