Getting started is simpler than you think.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming — especially when you're already carrying a lot.
Here's exactly what to expect when you reach out to Sol y Soul Therapy.
How It Works
Step 1: Free 15-Minute Consultation
We start with a free, no-pressure consultation call. This is a chance for you to share a little about what's been going on, ask any questions you have and get a feel for whether we're a good fit. There's no commitment required, I promise. It is just a conversation.
You can book your consultation directly through the website.
Step 2: Insurance Verification
Once we decide to move forward, Headway — the platform I use for scheduling and billing — will automatically verify your insurance benefits and let you know your copay before your first appointment. No phone calls, no guessing, no surprises. You'll know exactly what to expect before we ever meet.
I currently accept several major insurance plans. If you're unsure whether your plan is covered, Headway will confirm that for you during this step.
Step 3: Intake Session
Your first full session is your intake — a 50+ minute appointment where we go deeper. We'll talk about your history, what's bringing you to therapy right now, and what you're hoping to get out of this work. This session helps me understand you as a whole person, not just the problem you came in with. It also gives you a real sense of what our sessions will feel like going forward.
Step 4: Weekly Sessions
From there, we meet weekly for 50+ minute sessions via telehealth. Consistency matters in this work so weekly sessions give us the momentum to actually move through things rather than just check in, but I also understand if biweekly may work best for whatever reason.
You'll have a dedicated time that's just yours, from wherever you are in New Jersey.
Step 5: Ongoing Progress
Therapy isn't linear and that's okay. As we work together, we'll regularly check in on how things are feeling and adjust our focus as your needs evolve. Some clients come in with one goal and discover something deeper. Others hit a milestone and decide they're ready to wind down. We move at your pace.
