Integrative Therapy Services

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and our Intake Appointment is designed to help make that first step feel supportive and clear. Your journey at Lomi begins with a brief, 20-minute telephone Intake Appointment with one of our experienced Intake Coordinators. During this conversation, the Intake Coordinator will take time to learn about what brings you to therapy, the challenges you may be facing, and what you hope to gain from the therapeutic process.

This step is an important part of helping us understand your needs and preferences so we can thoughtfully match you with a therapist who has the experience and approach best suited to support you. Our goal is to connect you with a therapist who feels like a good fit, so you can begin your work together with a strong foundation for meaningful and effective therapy.

Before your first appointment, we will ask you to complete some intake paperwork to help us better understand your background and needs. Many clients choose to complete these forms from home using our secure online system, which can be accessed on a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet. Completing the paperwork in advance can help ensure that your first session is focused on getting to know you and discussing what brings you to therapy.

If you prefer, you’re also welcome to complete the forms in person before your first session. In that case, we ask that you arrive about 30 minutes early to allow enough time. If neither option works for you, our Intake Coordinator will be happy to help find an alternative that works best for your needs.

In-Person Appointments
Please arrive at the clinic at your scheduled time and have a seat in the waiting room. Your therapist will come out to greet you and bring you to a private office. Lomi is a scent-free space, so we kindly ask that you avoid wearing fragrances.

Teletherapy Appointments
If you are meeting remotely, your therapist will send you a secure video link at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact your therapist at least 24 hours in advance. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to the full session fee.

Your therapy journey begins with an Initial Assessment and Evaluation. During this process, your therapist will take time to learn about your experiences, concerns, and the goals that bring you to therapy. You may discuss your personal history, current challenges, and the areas of your life where you would like support or change. This conversation helps your therapist gain a fuller understanding of your unique needs and circumstances. The information gathered during this stage allows your therapist to thoughtfully tailor the therapeutic approach so that it best supports your healing, growth, and overall well-being.

After the Initial Assessment, you and your therapist will work together to identify goals for therapy. These goals help guide the direction of your work and create a clear focus for your sessions. Together, you may explore goals such as managing anxiety, improving relationships, healing from past experiences, or building greater self-understanding and confidence. As therapy progresses, these goals may evolve as you gain new insights and experiences. Your therapist will regularly check in with you about your progress, helping ensure that the work you are doing continues to support your needs, growth, and overall well-being.

At Lomi Psychotherapy Clinic, we believe that meaningful change grows out of a strong therapeutic relationship. Our therapists create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can speak openly and explore your thoughts and emotions. Through empathy, curiosity, and thoughtful listening, we work to understand your experiences and build a relationship grounded in trust and respect. This trusting connection provides the foundation for deeper insight, healing, and personal growth throughout the therapeutic process.

Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based approaches to support your unique needs and goals. This may include mindfulness and somatic practices, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, family systems work, attachment-focused therapy, or other proven therapeutic methods. As therapy unfolds, your therapist will continue to check in about your progress and adapt the approach to best support your healing and growth.

In therapy, you will learn practical strategies to help manage the challenges you face. This may include identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns, developing healthy communication skills, practicing stress-reduction techniques, or exploring new ways of understanding your experiences. Therapy also supports the development of emotional awareness and balance, helping you better understand and navigate your emotions and relationships. The goal is to equip you with tools you can use in everyday life to build resilience and well-being.

Self-reflection is an important part of the therapeutic process. Through thoughtful conversation and guided exploration, your therapist will help you gain deeper insight into your emotions, behaviors, and patterns of thinking. As your self-awareness grows, you may begin to recognize underlying influences, understand yourself more clearly, and see your experiences from new perspectives. This process can support meaningful personal growth and help you make thoughtful, positive changes in your life.

As therapy progresses, we regularly reflect on your progress together to ensure that the work you’re doing continues to support your needs and goals. Open communication is an important part of this process, and your therapist will encourage you to share your thoughts, questions, and feedback along the way. Together, you can make adjustments to your treatment plan so that therapy remains responsive to your growth and experiences. At Lomi, we are here to support and walk alongside you throughout your journey, offering a safe and compassionate space for healing and personal growth.
