Your Counseling in Edmond Journey: The Free Discovery Call

Your Counseling in Edmond Journey: The Free Discovery Call

You’ve done it! You found a therapist you think you could connect to and have booked your free discovery call to learn more (or Free Counseling Consultation in Edmond). I want to help you better understand the purpose of the discovery call and why this step can be crucial in your journey towards healing and growth. 

A great part about scheduling a discovery call is not only that it’s free but it also gives you just a taste of what it might be like to talk to this therapist and work with them. It helps you and the therapist envision what it could be like to work together and what you two might be able to accomplish. 

The Purpose of a Free Counseling Consultation

Many therapists offer a free discovery or consultation call before you book a session with them. In my practice I offer this free 25 minute call because finding a therapist isn’t an easy task. People want help and I want to be as helpful as possible. I don’t want to book a first session with someone I don’t think I could help and I don’t want potential clients to get discouraged about therapy by booking a full session with me only to find out that they need someone with a different skill set. I want healing for everyone and if I can be a part of helping guide you towards that healing then that’s what I want to do. 

Discovery call talking points

In my practice, I want to dive right in when we get on the call. I am hungry for information and want to see how I can help so with some variation here are the main points I tend to focus on:

1. What have been your past experiences with counseling, if any, and how did they help?
2. What’s creating the desire for you to reach out now?
3. I will tell you a bit about me, what I do and what working with me looks like.
4. We pick a path out of these options:

• • We have a feeling we could work well together so we get you scheduled. 
  • We could be a good fit but aren’t quite sure so you take some time and we touch base in a few days
  • We don’t align and I send you to people I love and trust who could help.

How to prepare for your discovery call

This is your potential new therapist you are about to talk to, which is exciting but also a bit anxiety provoking. What I would like you to know is “take your time”. Book a session when you know you can be in a private space away from distractions and where you will be able to get good reception. If you’re feeling nervous or worried or anything in between, I want to know. I love feelings and hearing about what it’s like for you to make this call helps me better understand you. As you prepare to make your decision about your counseling journey in Edmond, I invite you let yourself reach for the healing you deserve and get curious about the process. 

I hope this gives you more comfort and confidence about your counseling journey and deepens your knowledge about what a free discovery call can look like. If you are ready to start your counseling journey in Edmond then book your free discovery call with me and uncover the transformative potential of therapy, guided by a clear plan and the expertise of the right therapist can help you now, tomorrow and well into your future.
