A beginning, at your pace

You do not need the perfect words. We can start with what brings you here and help you explore your options.

Let’s connect

Make the first connection

Reach out with your contact information and any therapist or language preferences.

Find the right fit

Talk through your needs, clinician availability, session format, fees, and payment options.

Make space for you

Begin with your therapist at a pace that feels comfortable, and work toward goals you choose together.

Good questions

Let’s clear
a few things up.

A little information can make the next step feel easier. You are welcome to ask about anything else.

Ask the team
Can I have therapy in Spanish?

Yes. Alex, Argent, and Moyses provide counseling in English and Spanish. Share your language preference when you reach out so we can discuss a suitable clinician and availability.

Do you offer in person and virtual sessions?

The practice is being developed with in person care in Reno and telehealth options for eligible clients in Nevada. Confirm the current location, session format, and availability with the clinician you are considering.

How do I choose a therapist?

You can ask about someone on the team or tell us a little about the type of support you are seeking. We can discuss their approach and availability so you can explore the fit.

What about fees and insurance?

Please ask about the fee and payment options for your selected clinician. Insurance participation and availability must be confirmed before scheduling.

What if I’m not sure what I need?

That is a valid place to begin. You can share what has been feeling difficult or what you hope might change, and ask questions about the next step.
