Credentials and relevant experience
Ask for the professional credential and licensing jurisdiction, along with experience relevant to your concern and age group. Verify current status with the appropriate licensing board.
Faith and the working relationship
Ask how Christian faith enters sessions and how your preferences are respected. What is their approach to prayer, Scripture, and spiritual questions?
Cost, availability, and next steps
Confirm fees, insurance, appointment format, and availability directly with the practice. Ask what happens after the first conversation and whether an introductory consultation is free.
Use a consultation to ask questions
A brief consultation can help you understand the provider’s services and decide whether to discuss next steps. It is not the same as an intake appointment or an agreement to ongoing care.
