Contact us today to find out how to start therapy at the Samaritan Counseling Center.

Intake Process

When you call, our staff will guide you through the intake process.  You will need to fill out a brief intake form.  Once it is returned to our office, a staff therapist will call to set up the first appointment.

First Visit

In addition to learning more about you, your therapist will go over important center policies with you.

Fees will also be discussed.  Many insurance companies cover outpatient psychotherapy which will assist in the cost of our services.  A sliding fee scale is used for individuals without insurance coverage and will be calculated based on total household income and number of dependents.  

Appointments are 45-50 minutes.
