Can I get a free 15 minute consultation before booking a session?
Yes! We offer an option for a free meet-and-greet phone or video call. This is a great way to connect with a therapist and get a sense if their approach is right for you.
Trying out therapy for the first time or finding a new therapist can be daunting.
To make it all a bit easier, Shift Collab offers free 15-minute consultations (or Meet & Greets, as we call them) so you can find a therapist who fits your needs and preferences. The Meet & Greet provides an opportunity to share a bit about yourself and what is bringing you to therapy. It is also a good time to ask important questions of your potential therapist. We've created this handy Meet & Greet Guide for more in-depth information.
There is no formal limit on the number of Meet & Greets you can book; however, we strongly suggest you limit it to two or three. Connecting with too many therapists can lead to feelings of overwhelm — which is why we have our Care Team to help.
If you’d like to be matched with a therapist, please complete our Matching Questionnaire. This will help us make a great recommendation for you.
Booking a Meet & Greet is not required to start therapy. If you are comfortable with a therapist profile, or would like to start therapy right away, you are more than welcome to book a full paid Initial Session right away too.
You can also send us an email directly at hello@shiftcollab.com, or give us a call at 1 (800) 661-8681 if you have any questions.
