What to Expect

Taking that first step is difficult, whether you’ve been to counseling before or it’s your first time. Knowing what to expect can certainly make it easier. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect and how to get started.

STEP 1: You can reach out to Auden Counseling via phone or email. Leave a brief message telling me a little bit about yourself, such as contact information, what brings you to counseling, and if you’re feeling extra fancy you can tell me what kind of insurance you have (or if you’d like to self-pay).

STEP 2: You’ll receive a call from me. Together we will schedule a time for a free 15-min consultation. This gives you the opportunity to ask me any questions that you may have, and gives me the opportunity to get to know a little more about you.

STEP 3: If you decide that you’d like to work with me after our initial consultation, just let me know. You’ll receive an email from me, where you’ll be able to complete initial paperwork and payment information. You’ll also be able to set up online portal access. This portal will allow you to view and request appointments, receive reminders, communicate with me, and access billing information. If you decide you’d like to see me virtually, the portal also offers access to our virtual sessions. It should be noted, however, that I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

STEP 4: Once all paperwork is completed, we’ll schedule our first official appointment together and you’ll start your journey towards wellness.

Auden Counseling offers a cozy, comfortable space to begin your movement towards compassionate and skillful growth.

We are located at 959 Merrimon Ave, in the heart of North Asheville, NC.
