What to Expect
Intake – Form Here
When you call In Him Christian Wellness’s intake number, you will reach our intake coordinator and they will help answer any questions. For new clients, we will help determine the rate/check on insurance, set you up with a Therapy Notes portal, and send you the necessary intake forms needing to be processed before your first session. You will also be assigned to a counselor that is the best fit for you who will then complete your intake session at your first appointment.
Those forms for intake include:
- General information about you including contact info, family info, and history of problem.
- Directions to our office
- Confidentiality information and consent forms
- Financial agreement
- Our policies and procedures
- Covid-19 and/or Telehealth waivers (if applicable).
- Credit Card Authorization
- Authorization to Release Information (Talk to your clinician about these forms. You may or may not receive these ahead of time).
Each appointment lasts approximately 50 minutes. This allows time for necessary paperwork and charting to be completed for that session.
Following your first appointment, you will be given the opportunity to schedule with that therapist OR share your preferences to schedule with another therapist (we do our best to schedule clients with therapists based on the needs and preferences of the client and experience or focus of clinician, to provide the best fit).
Things to Know
– Each therapist keeps their own schedule, and we are not all in our respective offices at the same times or on the same days of the week, therefore, we do not always see each other daily.
– Regarding communication with your therapist or clinician: If a client has a question or concern about his or her care, he or she should contact his or her clinician directly to address it. Each therapist has his or her own phone number and email address.
– If utilizing more than one service or seeing more than one clinician, we will communicate regarding situations that require integration of services. But again, if you have questions or concerns about specific issues, please communicate directly with that clinician.
– All payments are due at the time of service. If you choose to pay online using your Therapy Notes portal, on the In Him Christian Wellness Web Page, you will be charged by their billing department the day after services. If you pay by cash, check, or PayPal, our preference is that you pay directly prior to or following your appointment. Please let your clinician know when the payment has been made.
