The initial step involves making a phone call to address additional questions while assessing the counselor who contacts you. You can schedule an appointment with the counselor after feeling at ease during your conversation. If you do not feel comfortable with them, please call back the main line and ask for another counselor.
The counseling process requires mutual participation between two individuals, so we suggest you seek a counselor who makes you feel at ease. The initial counseling session, as detailed in the Impact Counseling FAQ, explains policies and fees while discussing your reasons for seeking counseling and helping you assess your comfort level with your counselor. The counselor will share their available services and recommended session frequency with you during the final part of the first meeting. Both parties must determine if they want to continue counseling together and establish the session frequency. Further details are available in the Impact Counseling FAQ section with our role as a Medi-Cal provider.
