How to self-book individual sessions using Noterro
Consultations
If this is your first time contacting Think Joy Drama Therapy, welcome! I’m looking forward to seeing how I can support you at this time in your life and in your therapeutic journey!
You can book a free consultation here.
A consultation is optional.
During a consultation, therapy goals, pricing, and scheduling may be discussed. An Intake session and/or follow-up sessions may be arranged if desired. See below for info on how to book your own intake and/or follow-up sessions.
The Intake Session
Clients interested in Individual Creative Arts Therapy Psychotherapy services (talk-based, integrative, or Drama Play) will begin with an intake session prior to booking ongoing follow-up sessions. This does not apply to group therapy participants or to Individual Poetry therapy sessions.
You can book an intake session for yourself here.
Prior to your intake session you will be sent some standard forms to fill in including an Intake form, Consent form and Limits of Confidentiality form.
An intake session is a first session where we can review your goals and reasons for therapy, and begin to explore your comfortability with expression verbally, somatically and/or creatively.
During the intake session, the intake form and other forms may be reviewed and/or you will be able to ask any questions that you have. We will begin to get to know each other and you can begin to get a feel for how therapy might be structured (or left unstructured purposefully).
Follow-up Sessions
After your intake session you may want to arrange a regular appointment time or you may book follow-up sessions on an as-needed basis. Longer sessions (75 min and 100 min) may be preferable if you feel that at 45-50 minutes into a therapy session you are just getting ‘into it’.
For online sessions, a link will be provided to you by email prior to your session.
Booking/reserving Group Therapy sessions
Please register your interest by sending an email and/or booking a consultation to ask any questions you might have.
You will be contacted to confirm your interest in joining a group.
You will be contacted again prior to the group starting to confirm payment, start date, and your availability for the session time (group start dates are posted but may be delayed depending on participants availabilities and fit).
Once the group has a confirmed start date you will be invoiced for 4-12 sessions (depends on the offering and/or any pre-determined agreement for group therapy payments).
