Getting Started with Therapy

Thank you for reaching out to Sankofa Healing Studio.

While our current availability is limited, we remain deeply committed to supporting those seeking care. We strive to respond to all inquiries within 10 business days; however, due to the high volume of requests we receive, response times may occasionally take longer. At times, it may take three to four weeks before an appointment becomes available.

If you have an urgent concern that requires more immediate attention, we encourage you to explore other providers or resources that may have shorter wait times while you remain on our waiting list. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or require immediate support, please call 988 or visit your nearest crisis center.

To begin the process, please complete the brief intake form below. When filling out the form, it is especially helpful to include your general availability, as this allows us to match you with our limited appointment openings. The more flexibility you can provide—especially for daytime or virtual appointments—the easier it will be for us to match you with an available therapist more quickly.

If you plan to use insurance, please include that information so our team can review coverage and handle the necessary details.

Our team is working diligently to schedule appointments as quickly as possible, and we appreciate your patience during this process. Taking this first step toward care is meaningful, and we want you to know that all information shared with us will be handled with care, confidentiality, and security.

Next, you'll receive a phone call from a member of our team within 1-2 weeks. When completing the intake form, it's crucial to provide a phone number with voicemail and an email address that you check regularly. This ensures we can reach you efficiently for this step of the process.We'll take this time to see if Sankofa Healing Studio feels like the right fit for you. We'll also talk over the practical stuff, such as cost, how your insurance benefits (if you're using any) can be utilized, and any specific needs you have. It's all about making sure our healing space aligns with your needs.

When you complete our intake form, please provide a frequently checked phone number and email address, as we will use these to send you all necessary appointment information and forms. Keep an eye on your email, including the junk mail folder, for a follow-up message from us. This email will contain a link to our client portal, where you'll need to complete some essential intake paperwork. Once this is done, we can schedule your first session at Sankofa Healing Studio. We're eager to support you on your healing journey and thank you for ensuring these communication channels are closely monitored for a smooth and timely start.

Now the real journey begins. It's time to dig deep and uncover what's been holding you back from feeling your best. As you start your healing journey with us at Sankofa Healing Studio, know that we're with you, every step of the way.
