You can take the next step by contacting me to set up a free 15-minute consultation or to schedule your first full session. You can do that through the “Contact” link on this website, by emailing me at candice@metzlercounselingservices.com, or by calling (801) 554-4943.

Consultations are an opportunity to explore “goodness of fit” and your specific concerns and goals for therapy. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about my professional background and training, my treatment approaches, or any specific concerns you may have.

The first full session is sometimes called an intake session, during which we will discuss topics such as consent for treatment, expectations for therapy, confidentiality, limits to confidentiality, and practice policies. It differs from a typical session because I ask more questions to inform my assessment and develop an individually tailored diagnosis and treatment plan.

The second session is typically when we will review the diagnosis and treatment plan, and you will have an opportunity to provide feedback and add or change treatment goals or objectives. In some cases, I will start basic treatment approaches during the intake session. Typically, treatment starts only after you have had a chance to review and agree with the goals and objectives established through the diagnosis and treatment plan.
