Initial Consultation
Please call for pricing
What can I expect when I become a client?
After contacting our office by phone, you'll receive a call to discuss your reason for reaching out. In a phone interview with our practice manager, Ruthie, you will have all your initial questions answered. Once you schedule your appointment, an intake form and consent form will be emailed directly to you. You will complete this at home and submit it before your appointment. Once you are admitted into the practice, you will have an initial consultation with Dr. Tom and follow-ups as needed.
What is the first appointment like?
At the initial 50 minute life coaching or mental health consultation, Dr. Petit will discuss your reasons for setting the coaching/counseling appointment. Prior to the initial appointment a narrative history will be taken by Ruthie Petit, a licensed practitioner who speaks with each potential client by phone prior to scheduling.
How often are follow up appointments?
Two follow-up appointments are scheduled at the time of your initial intake interview with Ruthie, sometimes weekly or every other week. With progress, the time between follow-ups will lengthen. It is then recommended to stay established with Dr. Tom and have a consultation perhaps monthly or every-other month or when needed if new concerns arise.
Follow-Up
$200
How long is a follow up?
Follow-up appointments are 50 minutes.
What is done in a follow up?
We discuss your progress and how you are responding to the recommendations and may make adjustments. Follow ups are individually discussed and scheduled during your initial consult. Each is tailored to your scheduling needs and availability and budgetary concerns as well Dr. Petit's availability. Additional follow ups will be determined as needed.
Will you order labs?
In some instances, it may be necessary to gather more information. Ordering labs and prescriptions are the purview of your medical doctor and are not ordered by Dr. Petit.
