The first step in the Intake process is to call the Center,
304-346-9689
Our clinical receptionists, Lynda or Mandy will get some
initial information about you
including your name and address, and some other background information. They
will also ask for your insurance information, if you have insurance, and will
tell you about our fee subsidy program, if you qualify.
We will assign a
counselor who we think will be the best fit given
your location, your preferences, your insurance requirements, and other factors.
The counselor will the call you to set up an appointment.
Each counselor keeps his or her own appointment book.
You will be asked to come in 30 minutes early for your
first appointment in order to fill out the initial paperwork. If you prefer, you
call download the forms ahead of time and fill them out before you arrive. Many
of our clients find that this saves them time.

In the first session the counselor
will ask you questions about your current situation, why you are seeking help
now, what you are seeking help for, and what your initial goals are. Your
counselor may begin to work with you on clarifying your goals, and developing
positive goals that are closely connected to your deep core values. Your
counselor might also begin to work with you on developing positive motivations
for reaching your goals.
Counseling is a collaborative
process. In each session, your counselor will review your goals with you
and evaluate with you your progress towards your goals. During the sessions, the
counselor will work with you to help you develop the resources you need to
achieve your goals.
Clear, positive goals, external support, and internal
commitment and motivation are part of the formula for a successful outcome in
counseling.
The counselor's job is to help you achieve your goals. We
wish you much success.
