What to Expect

Step 1: Say Hello
Use the contact form on this page or email me at julia@julialehrmantherapy.com to inquire about available session times or to ask any questions you might have. Or just give me a call at 415-993-1301.

If I don’t answer, please leave me a message. I’m likely just in session. I will call you back as soon as possible that same day.

Step 2: Paperless Paperwork 
After we schedule our first session, I will send you an email via SimplePractice. This email will contain a link that will allow you to login to your secure, confidential portal. There, you will be able to review and sign my practice documents. This will allow us more time during the first session to focus on you.

Step 3: Mark Your Calendar
Therapy works best with consistent weekly attendance. I expect my patients to be committed to this process. In return for this commitment, I will hold your session time each week out of respect for your schedule and the importance of our work together. If you have to cancel, please make sure to do so 48 hours in advance to avoid being charged the full rate of the session.

Step 4: Let’s dive in
You are a unique, one-of-a-kind person. I want to get to know you and learn about who you are.

During the first few sessions, I will ask questions to learn more about you and get a better sense of how I can best help you. We will discuss your needs and what you would like to work on in therapy. 

Then, we will meet on a weekly basis to think through things together.

We will continuously check in and make adjustments as needed. You are free to end therapy when you feel ready. When this time comes, I strongly recommend that we have a discussion around this decision and meet to bring our work together to a more deliberate close, even if just for the time being.
