Getting Started is Easy
HEY THERE
HOW THIS WORKS...
Maybe you have never been to counseling before! Hopefully this page helps to give you an idea of what to expect.
1. First reach out to us:
(phone) 208-758-7111
or (e-mail): contactus@empoweredthroughplay.com
2. Someone from our staff will be in contact with you. The office manager then works with you to determine which counselor would be the best fit. This depends on your needs, what your goals are, your schedule and the counselor's schedules, and insurance/billing needs. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
3. Sometimes, depending on your insurance and billing needs, this may determine which counselor can work with you (insurance is sometimes complicated). The office manager can look at your insurance plan, and help you determine the best fit.
4. After you choose a counselor, we will email you a link to our client portal which will have all of your documents that need to be signed before your first appointment. Don't worry... it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes!
5. For your first appointment, you will meet with your counselor. They might ask you questions about why you want to start counseling, what your goals are, and maybe some background information as well.
6. You and your counselor will work together to create a schedule. Typically, weekly appointments are the norm. That decision will be up to you and your counselor!
WE CARE ABOUT YOU!
HOW DO I MAKE A COUNSELING APPOINTMENT?
You can begin by viewing our staff and deciding which counselor may best fit your or your child's needs. Each counselor has a profile that will tell you about their services and specialties, as well as their training and experience. To schedule your initial appointment, please contact the office 208-758-7111 or e-mail us at: contactus@empoweredthroughplay.com. The front office will guide you through the next steps.
HOW LONG DO I NEED TO ATTEND COUNSELING?
It is hard to predict the exact length of time it will take for you to meet your goals. While brief therapy may be appropriate for some issues, others may require more extensive treatment. Individual concerns are improved or resolved at different rates. During your initial appointment your counselor will work to understand your needs and concerns and discuss recommendations regarding the frequency of sessions and appropriate approach for your situation
