Jamie Kennedy, Ph.D.
Getting Started in Therapy
Step 1 / Phone Consultation
First, schedule a free phone consultation, which will help clarify if my services match your needs. We will also discuss the cost of therapy, which varies based on the service you receive. Fifty-minute therapy sessions typically range from $150 - $185, and we will finalize your fee before we schedule your first appointment.
To schedule a free phone consultation, please call (or text) me (470.398.1919) or email me.
Step 2 / Initial Evaluation
If we decide to work together during the phone consultation, then we schedule an initial appointment. The initial appointment will allow us to get to know each other, explore your goals, and formulate a treatment plan. I will also ask you to complete questionnaires prior to our meeting.
Step 3 / Therapy
How long and how often we meet for therapy will depend on your goals and treatment plan. Most of my clients begin with weekly sessions and then taper to less frequent sessions as they progress towards their goals. We will regularly monitor and discuss your progress, and you have ultimate control over your treatment.
Please note: I am not qualified to work with clients needing acute treatment of substance abuse, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, or suicidal or violent behavior. I also do not provide evaluations for legal purposes (e.g., child custody cases; disability ).
