How to Start Therapy with Empowered Harmony Counseling

 

Real Solutions for Real Life

 

We are honored you are considering Empowered Harmony Counseling, Psychiatry & Wellness Center for your healing journey. Starting therapy with us is simple, supportive, and centered around your needs. Here’s how to get started:

 

Step 1: Complete the Intake Package

You have two options to complete your intake:

 

• Online: Set aside at least one uninterrupted hour to fill out the intake forms. Please note that the system does not save progress, so be sure to complete all sections in one sitting.

• Downloadable Option: If you prefer, you may download the intake forms, complete them at your convenience, and email them back to our office.

​

Why Is My Intake Package So Long?

We understand your time is valuable and that filling out a long intake packet can feel overwhelming. However, this information is essential for your care and follows the standard process used by mental health professionals nationwide.

 

Your intake forms help your clinician:

• Understand your background so they can tailor therapy to your unique needs.

• Ensure safety and legal compliance by collecting information required by state and federal laws.

• Identify patterns and goals that guide treatment planning and progress.

• Coordinate care if other providers or medications are involved.

​

Every question serves a purpose. Together, these forms create a full picture of your emotional, medical, and social history. That helps your clinician provide accurate, safe, and effective care.

 

Taking this time at the start makes your sessions smoother and more productive later. Most patients complete the forms only once at the beginning, and updates afterward are brief.

​

If You Are in Crisis:

​If you are in crisis or feel unsafe, please do not wait for an appointment or complete these forms. Call 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. If you are outside the United States, contact your local emergency number immediately. Resources and emergency numbers can be found here.

 

Step 2: Contact Us to Schedule Your Appointment

Once your forms are complete, email or call our office to schedule your first appointment. Our team will help match you with a provider who aligns with your preferences and clinical needs.

 

Step 3: Attend Your Intake Session

Your first session will be with your assigned therapist or clinician. During this time, you’ll review your intake together, discuss your goals, and begin creating a personalized care plan.

 

If you need help at any point in the process, our friendly support team is ready to assist you. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to support your healing and growth.
