What happens after I complete the form or what is the new patient process?
1. Watch for an email from TherapyPortal.
After we receive your request, you will receive an email from TherapyPortal with a time-sensitive link to create your secure patient portal account. If you don’t see it, be sure to check your spam or junk folder.
2. Complete your New Client Forms.
Once your portal account is set up, you’ll find your New Client Forms waiting for you. Please complete all of the requested forms before scheduling your first appointment. These forms help us understand your needs and provide our staff with the information needed to process your request.
3. Call us to schedule your first appointment.
Once all of your New Client Forms are complete, call 913-906-9559, option 419 to schedule your appointment.
Please note: New clients cannot schedule their first appointment through TherapyPortal. Our front office team needs to review and process your New Client Forms before your first appointment can be scheduled.
