Online and In-person Psychotherapy in California With Sara Ouimette, LMFT: Scheduling Sessions

After carefully reviewing my FAQs, the next step in beginning our work together is to set up a 10 minute phone consult for online or in-person psychotherapy services (or for professional consultation). During this consultation call, you'll be able to ask me any questions you may have and get a feel for who I am. I also use this time to get a general sense of what you're hoping to get help with, and to assess if I could be a good fit for you. Due to limitations on my time and availability, free phone consultations are strictly for prospective psychotherapy clients and consultees.

Once we decide to set up a first appointment, we'll begin to meet on a weekly basis. I strongly believe that the consistency of weekly or twice-weekly therapy allows us to build trust and best understand and address your needs. Regular sessions last for 50 minutes.

After carefully reviewing my FAQs, please email me at saraouimettemft@gmail.com to schedule a brief phone consultation for psychotherapy services.
