Alternatively, you can book your first session instantly through Jane, an easy-to-use app. Once you’re booked, you’ll complete the intake and consent forms in the app, and we’ll get started in your first session with creating a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Though we’ll start developing your treatment plan in your first session and share some details with you, please understand that it is always subject to change based on your progress and ever-changing needs.
