Get started
Reach out. We’ll take it from here.
Getting in touch takes courage, and it’s the hardest part. There are no forms to fill out to “qualify,” and no obligation. Send a short note, or just call or text, and a real person will help you find the right therapist.

Meet Kari, our care coordinator
What happens after you reach out
A real person, not a waiting room.
- 01
A real person reads it
Your message goes to Kari, our care coordinator: a real person, not an auto-responder. She usually reads it the same day.
- 02
She matches you thoughtfully
Kari learns a little about what you’re looking for and matches you with the clinician best suited to help, by specialty, approach, and availability.
- 03
You have a free 15-minute call
A short, no-pressure conversation to see if it’s a good fit. There’s no obligation to book, and often a first session is available the same week.
Rather not fill out a form?
Just call or text.
Some people would rather talk to a person than type into a box, and that’s completely fine. Reach us however feels easiest. We answer every call, text, and email.
Helpful to have ready
No prep required.
You don’t need anything to reach out. If you want the first call to move quickly, it can help to have in mind:
- A sentence or two on what’s bringing you in
- Whether you’d prefer in-person (Carlsbad, Encinitas, or Vista) or telehealth
- Days and times that tend to work for you
You’re not committing to anything
The first step is small.
It’s a short, no-pressure conversation, a chance to ask questions and see whether we’re the right fit. Whenever you’re ready, we’d be glad to hear from you.
