What to Expect When You Contact Us
When you call the Samaritan Counseling Center to make an appointment, the receptionist will ask you basic questions about your name, address, contact and insurance information, etc. You will also be asked your reason for seeking help, i.e. depression, anxiety, marriage counseling, family counseling, anger management, abuse, ADHD, etc. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to voice them at this time. An appointment will then be set that meets your therapeutic needs.
Prior to your first arrival for your session, we ask that you fill out simple inventory forms (which can be accessed by clicking the link). The forms ask for information about any medications you're taking, how you're feeling about yourself and various aspects of your life, and explain our confidentiality, cancellation and payment policies.
Upon arrival to your first session, you will meet with your therapist in a private, comfortable, confidential office. Your areas of concern will be identified and initial therapy goals will be developed. Preferred frequency of visits (weekly, bi-weekly, etc.) will be established.
Sessions are approximately 50 minutes long. The therapist will discuss your concerns and issues in a supportive, non-judgmental manner and guide you toward developing your own solutions.
Because we're a non-denominational, faith-based center, we're able to explore the spiritual, as well as the emotional aspects of your concerns. We won't try to change your religious belief system, but will rather encourage you to use your faith as a source of strength.
