We want you to feel comfortable and prepared for your therapy experience.

Step by Step

Your Journey With Us


From your first phone call to your ongoing sessions, here's what to expect every step of the way.

1

Book Your Free Consultation

Call us at (914) 686-2484 or email reception@thejoyinliving.com for your free 15-minute phone consultation. We'll discuss your needs, answer questions, and see if we're a good fit.

2

Complete Your Paperwork

You'll receive access to our Patient Portal (TherapyPortal) where you can complete intake forms, consent documents, and provide relevant history — all securely online before your first session.

3

Initial Assessment Session

Your first session is a comprehensive assessment (45-50 minutes). We'll get to know you, understand your concerns, explore your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan together. There's no pressure — this is your space.

4

Begin Regular Sessions

Based on your treatment plan, we'll schedule ongoing sessions (typically weekly to start). Sessions can be in-person at our Sleepy Hollow office or via secure telehealth — whatever works best for you.
