A quick conversation designed for clarity.
Your first consultation isn’t therapy—it’s a short, confidential call focused on understanding your goals and matching you with the clinician best equipped to help.
If it feels like a fit, we’ll take a few extra minutes afterward to gather the details that help us match you with the right therapist and get your first session on the books.

“No pressure, no commitment — just a chance to see if we’re a fit.”
What We’ll Talk About
Every first conversation follows the same rhythm — focused, practical, and centered on what matters most to you.
Your Goals
We’ll talk about what’s been most challenging lately and what kind of change you’re hoping for — whether that’s relief, perspective, or a plan that feels doable.
Our Approach
We’ll share how therapy typically works at OtherKind — grounded in evidence-based care, focused on practical skills, and tailored to your personality and pace.
Next Steps
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll recommend a clinician matched to your goals and send details for scheduling — most clients begin within two weeks, often sooner.
What Happens Next
You’ll receive a summary email with your clinician match and next steps within 48 hours. Most clients begin therapy within two weeks — with flexible scheduling in person or virtually across 30+ PSYPACT states.
