What to Ask in a Consultation
A short introductory conversation can feel easier when you know what you want to learn from it.
Let’s TalkA QUESTION WORTH EXPLORING
Start with the part that feels familiar.
A short introductory conversation can feel easier when you know what you want to learn from it. You may be interested in the approach, the practical arrangements, or whether there is room for a question you find difficult to describe.
The free 15-minute consultation is different from a therapy session. It is a chance to discuss fit and ask about the next step. It does not require sharing a detailed history, and it does not automatically confirm ongoing care.
The most useful question may concern the relationship with the therapist rather than a technique. You can ask how goals are discussed, how questions are welcomed, and what happens if the fit does not feel right. A short call can begin that inquiry even when it cannot answer everything.
MAKING THE QUESTION SPECIFIC
A place to begin the conversation.
Choose two or three practical questions rather than trying to fit your whole story into the call. Ask about current availability, fees, appointment structure, and how the approach relates to what you are seeking.

Questions can stay open.
Should I spend the consultation explaining my entire history?
The short call has a different purpose from a therapy session. You can describe the concern broadly and ask the questions that matter to deciding the next step. A detailed history is not required to earn the right to ask about fit, and practical questions do not need to wait until you have explained every part of your experience.
What can I ask about the therapist's style?
You might want to know how conversations are guided, how goals are discussed, and whether there is room to ask questions or disagree. These preferences can matter as much as familiarity with a term or technique. The consultation can begin that discussion while leaving more detailed clinical decisions for an appropriate professional setting.

Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
If you do not have insurance or are not using insurance, you have the right to receive an estimate of the expected cost of your care. You can ask for an estimate before scheduling.
For care scheduled 3 to 9 business days ahead, an estimate is due within 1 business day after scheduling. For care scheduled at least 10 business days ahead, it is due within 3 business days after scheduling. An estimate requested before scheduling is due within 3 business days of the request.
If a bill is at least $400 more than the estimate, you may be able to dispute it. Keep a copy of your estimate.
Learn about your rights at CMS.gov. This notice is informational. Ask the practice how to request your estimate before care begins.
