# How do I book family therapy?
## Here's what we need from everyone joining the session so your family profile and intake forms are ready before your first appointment.
**What we need for every participant:**
For each person who'll be part of your family therapy sessions, we need their full name, email address, phone number, and age. That's all it takes to get started, four details per person, and we'll take it from there.
**How your family profile gets set up:**
Once we have those details for everyone involved, we'll set up a shared family profile. That's what lets your therapist see the full picture and lets everyone book into the same sessions without re-entering their information each time.
**Before your first session:**
Every person listed on the family profile needs to complete their own intake form before the scheduled session, including kids and teens (a parent or guardian can complete it on their behalf). We can't hold the appointment without it, so it's worth getting these done as soon as your profile is set up, rather than the night before.
**Ready to get started?**
If you haven't been matched with a family therapist yet, take our [matching questionnaire](https://www.shiftcollab.com/start) and we'll find the right fit. Already matched? Send everyone's details to [hello@shiftcollab.com](mailto:hello@shiftcollab.com) or call 1-800-661-8681, and we'll get your family profile moving.
