Let us say that you have decided you want to come and meet with one of our therapists to discuss the issue or frustration you are facing right now in your life. You need to call this phone number - 408.354.6783.
CHL needs to determine the appropriate clinician and type of action that your situation suggests. For that purpose, one of the clinicians will speak with you and do a brief intake process, i.e., ask your name, address, current medical and psychological health, use of medication and drugs, etc. This professional will suggest a therapist who will call you to decide what day and time fits your and the counselor’s schedules.
Make sure to note the address, 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, CA 95134.2122. You will also need to know how you intend to get there in time for your first appointment, because you don’t want to be late. Public transportation is available and directions to our office are located on the web site (below). Do not hesitate to call 408.354.6783 with any questions.
Required Documents
Below are the three documents you will need for your first appointment. The first 2 describe your Consent to Treatment and our commitment to Confidentiality per HIPAA requirements. Please read these carefully, because you will sign these forms when you come in and you need to know the basic premise of our relationship. The third document is for you (and maybe your partner or other family members participating in therapy) to each fill out separately. The more detail you provide on this intake form, the better the work can proceed. Please bring the completed intake forms with you to your first session.
