The Therapy Vibe Check
What Is a Therapy Vibe Check? A Free 15-Minute Online Therapy Consultation Explained
Meeting people online can be hard…let alone when you want to divulge all your secrets and insecurities to them over video call.
You’ve already taken a huge leap just to set up a meeting and then have to be faced with the actual action of going into the meeting–that feels like too much.
And having only contact with a static business headshot or a few short lines from a directory doesn’t help you prepare yourself for that first impression with someone new, let alone a new therapist.
You don’t know if you are about to walk into warm and fuzz, stiff and clinical, or someone who is far more opposite than you are and doesn’t align with how you can authentically show up.
This entire daunting process is why I figured out a different way.
Key Takeaways
A free 15-minute therapy consultation (also called a therapy “vibe check”) lets you meet a therapist online before committing to sessions.
A therapy consultation call helps you discuss goals, ask questions, and see if the therapist’s approach feels comfortable for you.
Therapy Hour & Co offers online therapy consultations in Florida, New Jersey, California, Utah, and Virginia, making it easier to start therapy from home.
The right therapist relationship should feel supportive, collaborative, and authentic, helping you work toward growth without pressure.
A quick virtual therapy consultation can remove the uncertainty of starting therapy and help you feel more confident scheduling your first full session.
Welcome to the Vibe Check Consultation
This free 15-minute consult is the no pressure zone to see if we vibe.
You’ll step into a call with a millennial in a pullover t-shirt that usually relates to Harry Potter or Friends, an HP branded bookshelf behind me that looks like I just bought out the Universal store, and a coffee in hand to make sure I’m ready to dive into the tea.
My goal is that you leave every session with something concrete to use moving forward. We do this in a casual setting so that you can slip into a comfort and security that allows you to dive deeper into what you want to discuss.
I’ll be there to provide my endless analogies, ask questions, and make sure that I understand all the detailed context of your story. You’ll be there to lean into your most authentic version of you.
My Therapy Philosophy
My therapy philosophy is that therapy should fit into your life between work, exercise, childcare, etc.
We move past “and how does that make you feel?” so that you can feel a sense of relief, while still doing the real work of growth.
Therapy Sessions should strike a balance: personable, comfortable, validating while also being challenging, sarcastic, and truthful. We may dive into harder conversations with a quick chat about the latest reality show drama or a laugh with the goal of bettering your outlook outside of our session.
I will hold you accountable, but won’t pressure you to open up about anything I can’t close by the end of the session. You shouldn’t feel lost at the end of our time and feel like you have to figure it out on your own.
Therapy should be hopeful, offer a sense of improvement, and give you a path for moving forward with momentum.
The Vibe Check Consultation gives you a brief taste of what this is like, where we discuss your goals and align our work together before the first session. We make it easier to jump in during that first session without all the extra pressure (and panic) of “Who is on the other side of this video chat?!”
Therapy That Doesn’t Feel Like Therapy
Instead, you’ll slide into a version of therapy that isn’t often shown in media. We are all busy and have so much stimuli happening around us that your therapy session should be time to dedicate to you, a genuine act of self care between all of the tasks you have on your plate.
We collaborate at your pace through specific baby-steps that are guided by experience, context, and insights from our sessions.
Think of therapy as a road-trip: we take our time, soak in the sights, make stops along the way, and come out the other end with experiences we never forget.
You deserve a moment in your life where you can show up consistently with a therapist who gets it: a therapy without the therapy feel environment.
As your therapist, we both have permission to show up as we are, sweatshirts and all, coffee in hand.
