Forms to Initiate Psychotherapy

The following forms may be sent to me at cynthia_chase@sbcglobal.net or brought with you on your first appointment.  Here’s how to do it:  go to edit, select all, copy, then go to send a new email at cynthia_chase@sbcglobal.net, then paste. Fill in the data, and send email back to me.  Another option is to email me your request for an intake form, and I will e-mail it back to you.  I recommend that you send it along first so that we may get started right away at your initial appointment!
