There are four therapeutic service packages to choose from:

1. Intake & Orientation & Assessment: This single session is designed for those who intend to choose weather or not to continue with services. It is not designed to resolve any therapeutic treatment goals other than to provide an opportunity to be introduced to counseling and to discuss issues that have motivated the decision to consider services. Upon completion of this session the clinician may recommend continued services and will refer the client to a more appropriate health care provider(s) if appropriate.

The primary intake & orientation session is free of charge when any of the following service packages are purchased:

2. Traditional Services: Traditional services are designed for clients who wish to participate in weekly scheduled sessions.
3. Block Services,: This service package is for those who feel they can benefit from a pre-determined number of sessions. If treatment goals are not achieved by the final scheduled session a referral for other appropriate services will be recommended.
4. Retainer Services: For a monthly set fee, a limited amount of sessions can be scheduled per month at the client's discretion. If treatment goals are not achieved by the final scheduled session a referral for other appropriate services will be recommended
   
   The clinician reserves the right to decline to offer Retainer or Block Services if the client appears to be coping with a condition that may require more appropriate forms of clinical attention.
   
   A minimum of 48 hours advance notice required for all scheduled appointments. Crisis or same day/on-demand services are not available. In the event of an emergency contact 911 or Pierce County Crisis Line 1-800-576-7764 / (253) 798-4333.
