starting therapy at michigan wellbeing therapy clinic

From the moment you reach out, we begin our matching process.

Within 24-48 hours, our staff will follow up with you via email or phone to:

• Explain next steps

• Answer any questions you have

• Get you connected with a therapist that matches your needs

We offer a free 15-minute Discovery Call so you can meet your therapist, talk through what you're going through, and hear about their approach and background before deciding whether it feels like a good fit. You're welcome to schedule a call with more than one therapist too.

If you already know which clinician you'd like to work with, or you have a clear preference around identity, experience, or specialty, you can book a Discovery Call directly with one of our therapists.

If you're unsure who would be the best fit, we’re happy to help.

In those cases, we may offer:

• A brief discovery call with a therapist we think may be a goof match

• A conversation with our matching staff

These conversations help us understand who you are, what you’re navigating, and what kind of support will serve you best. Matching is never random, it’s intentional and rooted in the whole picture of your needs.

You can learn more about our therapist here.

Once you and your therapist have decided to move forward, we'll send your intake paperwork through your secure client portal in SimplePractice.

Most clients spend between 15 and 60 minutes on the intake paperwork, depending on how much you'd like to share; your answers save as you go, so you can step away and come back to it as needed.

Completing this before your first session lets us verify your insurance ahead of time and gives your clinician helpful background. Your portal stays with you after that as the place to join sessions, message your clinician securely, and manage billing.

Once you’re matched with your clinician, therapy begins.

Your first few sessions include an intake process, not as a one-time appointment, but as a collaborative phase of therapy. Over multiple sessions, you and your clinician will work together to:

• Understand your history and current challenges

• Explore patterns, relationships, and nervous-system responses

• Clarify goals and priorities

• Begin shaping a personalized care plan

As therapy continues, your clinician will support you using an integrative, whole-person approach tailored to what your currently navigating and what your goals are for therapy.

If additional support–such as coaching for executive function, ADHD-related challenges, nutrition, or day-to-day life organization–could be helpful, it may be introduced later as a collaborative part of care.
