Step 2
Free secure video consultation: We'll spend 30 minutes reviewing the issues you want to work on and starting the family map that will guide our work together. Video consultation form
We'll also go over policies on confidentiality, payment, cancellations, electronic communication, social media, etc.
If we both think it's a good fit, you'll fill out and return the Family Information Sheet and Registration Form. When completed save a copy and email both forms to pamela@pamela-hanson.com
Once I have received both forms we can schedule the first appointment.
Step 3
After the first appointment, you can expect to have increased clarity and sense of direction.
Please arrive for that first appointment about 15 minutes early, so you can complete and sign some necessary paperwork, after we briefly review a few policies. (More information on payment and other policies can be found on my Office Policies Page.)
Then, we can being the process of delineating your issues of concern and constructing a family map.

Step 4
Understand the stages of progress, and what to expect.
After the first few sessions, there is generally a sense of increased possibilities around the problematic issues. It is important to realize that although the "symptoms" have improved, the conditions that produced them are not yet gone.
The next stage is consolidating the gains, and working on changes that will prevent the same problems from arising. We will also strengthen your ability to recognize and resolve new issues in the early stages, before they become full-blown crises.
For best results, I recommend that you attend weekly for 3 months, then weekly or bi-weekly for an additional 3-6 months. The goal is to give you the tools you need to succeed and then "graduate" you from therapy, NOT to keep you coming back forever. Every client and every journey is different, but most of my clients find that they get optimal results from our work together when they remain committed to the process for at least 6 months.
Personal transformation through therapy is a bit like going to the gym; doing it one or two times might feel good, but it is unlikely to produce dramatic or long-term results.
