New Clients

 What to expect

The first step in your wellness journey is choosing a therapist. We are honored that you have chosen Foothills Behavioral Health for your mental health needs. Our therapists are here to help you become the best version of yourself.

Your First Session

Before your first visit, please click the link below that says "review this information before your first visit."  This is important information you need to know before your visit.  You can expect your first session to last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. At this first session we will complete a Mental Health Evaluation with you. This will give you an opportunity to share with us important information about your wellness concerns. When you arrive, we will help you get settled and complete additional paperwork. To ensure that your session begins on time, please arrive 15 minutes early to complete paperwork. In addition, please bring with you the following items: list of all medications including daily dosages, insurance information and driver's license or identification card.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that circumstances arise and appointments need to be cancelled. When this happens, it is imperative that we receive notice of a change in plans at least 24-hours in advance. 

When you give us 24-hour notice, your reserved time can be made available for another patient who has an immediate need or crisis moment. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, your appointment may be cancelled and rescheduled for a later date. Thank you in advance for understanding this policy and helping us meet counseling needs in our community.

Culturally Responsive Care

It is our mission to provide health equity and eliminate health care disparities to all individuals through the services we provide. It is our goal to provide care that is sensitive to culture, religion, disability, language and other held individual/family beliefs or qualities. Foothills Behavioral health, PLLC does not discriminate against any people groups based on their race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, genetic information, or disability. When it is not possible to service individuals or families due to unavailability of an employee/contractor that speaks the patients’ language, interpreter services are not available, or employee/contractor does not have the clinical expertise for adequate treatment, we will make every effort to refer patients to qualified clinicians that can perform services outside of our agency. Please discuss any questions you have by contacting our office at 336 867-3095.
