What Does a Free Consultation Involve?

A free consultation is a brief introductory call, typically 15 minutes, offered at no charge to prospective clients. It is an opportunity to connect with a therapist, ask questions about their approach, and get a sense of whether they may be a good fit for your needs before committing to a full session.

Finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the therapeutic process. A brief conversation can help clarify whether a particular practitioner's style, training, and approach align with what you are looking for. At Whole Self Wellness, free consultations are available by phone or video with several of our practitioners.

After the Call

If it feels like a good fit, you can proceed to booking a full session. If you would like to speak with another practitioner first, that is entirely welcome. There is no obligation.

Why a Consultation Matters

The therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in therapy. A brief introductory call allows you to assess fit before committing to a full session, clarify which modality or approach is most appropriate for your situation, and reduce the barrier to starting. Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step. A no-fee, no-commitment consultation makes it easier to take the first one.
