How to Become a Client
Here's the short answer: Contact me, Bill McDonald. I'm also the initial contact for sessions with Jane Kimball. ....................................................................... If you have time to read further, here's a longer answer: Step One Contact me, Bill McDonald - as above. I'll gather some brief information concerning Once we've set an appointment date and time, please be diligent to keep the appointment - or let me know otherwise as soon as possible. It is not our practice to make reminder phone calls. Step Two What to bring to your first appointment. Simply showing up is the primary task here. There's a certain courage involved in first walking into our office. In most cases you have never met either of us, except on these website pages - and there may be some anxiety about what this will be like. Will we decide you are too crazy for any help? Maybe we won't even understand you or your problems. Are we knowledgeable and strong enough to help you? Also bring payment - a check, cash, or a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover). Oh yes, you can also print out the New Client Information Form from this website (under Forms) and fill it out ahead of time. (There's also a form for minors.) If you can’t download, don’t worry. We’ll have a copy for you. Step Three Just get here. (If you get lost trying to find our place, just phone and we’ll guide you in.) And you may be surprisingly comfortable – though it’s not always easy to begin. Perhaps you're in for some interesting and challenging life changes. If you spend time in our waiting room, you’ll find it quite comfortable. Also all of the magazines are up to date! If someone comes with you, the waiting room is a quiet place for them to spend time - sometimes even to take a nap. There’s no TV.
