Getting started at the Treehouse begins by calling (505) 278-0807 or emailing admin@treehousenm.com and completing our intake forms. If you need support completing these forms, please let our admin team know, and they can provide you with in person or over the phone support during the process.
​
Once the intake forms are received and insurance is verified, you will receive an email from us letting you know that you have successfully been added to our waiting list. Katie Bassiri will assign you to a clinician based upon your requests and needs. When that clinician has an opening, you will be offered a one-hour weekly appointment time that you can choose to take or can continue to be on our waitlist until a time is offered that aligns with your needs. We do not offer biweekly or as needed appointments to new clients due to the importance of building a therapeutic relationship first, with consistency and predictability of scheduling.
​
When you come in for your first appointment, please make yourself comfortable in the waiting room and your clinician will come out to meet you at your scheduled time. We additionally offer telehealth services over Therapy Portal. Please let our team know if you would like to move your appointments online. Intake appointments last an hour, during which we explore the things that have happened that have brought you to The Treehouse. We do not have children (under 14) present during this meeting.
​
Therapy sessions are typically 53 minutes long and take place in your therapist's office. Many of our therapists see people of all ages, which means that you might be in a room that also has toys in it. It is up to you if you would like to utilize toys, board games, art, sandtray, Lego, fidgets, and more during your time at the office.​​
