Preparing for Your Appointment

    (PART ONE:

    Hello!  Congratulations!

    You have made an important decision to understand what is happening (and what happened) in your partner relationship and what you can do about it.  That takes courage and an investment of time and resources.  I will do everything I can to help you save money by having you send the below information to me ahead of time.  Each will need to be filled out and sent back.  Each one will tell you whether you can email it back or must snail mail the original back via USPS.  Of course, it can also be sent FedEx at your expense if time is of the essence for you.  (TIP:  Fill out the release/s below the contract and snail mail ALL the originals together if possible.)

     

    1. The Payment Agreement Contract: (The contract will be sent to you for your signature/s.) Please fill out this agreement completely, SIGN, DATE, and MAIL THE ORIGINAL to:  2338 SW Mayfair Place, Topeka, KS. 66611

    This must be received before scheduling can begin.  Please feel free to call or email with any questions.

     

    1. The Releases (one or more per person) are for your current or former therapist (+ an extra release which may include a second Professional you have worked with or an important support person—if you wish):  Please send these completely filled out with phone numbers, street addresses, AND email addresses and signed along with your signed Payment Agreement (above) to: 2338 SW Mayfair Place, Topeka, KS. 66611

     

    1. Please send your prepayment for the first month’s sessions (as agreed upon over the phone &/or confirmed by email) to arrive before scheduling can begin.

    (When making a prepayment for the next month, please allow 3-4 Business Days PRIOR to the end of the month to make sure the deposit hits the bank before the next month’s sessions begin.  Late payments may mean the cancellation of appointments, which may then need to be re-scheduled into limited openings later in the month.)

    The routing information will be sent to you to make your pre-payments.

    Receipt of payment is required before scheduling can begin.

     

    1. Please fill out this Diagnostic Questionnaire separately, numbering your responses to match the questions—ONE PER PARTNER— and EMAIL back to TBD Inc. 48 hours prior to the First Appointment to: mail@TransitionByDesign.com

    (If you are simply unable to fill out the Questionnaire, we can do this together via extra individual sessions.)

     

    1. Marital Status Inventory below—ONE PER PARTNER— This one is very fast.   Each partner fill this out privately–and EMAIL back to TBD Inc. 48 hours prior to the First Appointment to: mail@TransitionByDesign.com

    Please number your answers to match the numbered questions.  (If you are simply unable to fill out the Questionnaire, we can do this together via an extra individual session.)

     

    Thank you!  And I look forward to getting to know you!

    Warmly,

    Lori

    Warm-Up Exercise

    You are ready to set up your initial appointments!

    At your scheduled times, just click on this zoom link and I will admit you into my zoom office.

    I highly recommend that you click the zoom link below about 5 minutes in advance to get settled in.

    The fact that you need to be admitted to my zoom office is another security measure to create a safe space for us to work. IF YOU ARE IN A COUPLES PROCESS, YOU NEED TO BE TOGETHER IN THE SAME ROOM IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER. (Any exception—which would be rare– needs to be discussed in advance.) I’ll do my best to end on time with the client before you and begin on time with you, so take your bathroom break, get your coffee, tea, or water, get comfortable, and be ready!
