Getting Started

Taking the first step toward therapy or an assessment can feel like a lot. We want to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible.

​

To get started with Behavioral Health Specialists, please complete the New Therapy/Assessment Request Form below. This gives our team the basic information we need to begin helping you find the right services and provider.

If you plan to use insurance, you can review the insurance plans we currently accept in the FAQ section of our website.

 

What happens after I submit the form?

​

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.

​

4. Have a question? We’re happy to help.
If you have questions at any point in the process, call our front office at 913-906-9559, option 1.

We know reaching out for behavioral health services is an important step. Our goal is to make getting started as easy as possible so you can focus on what matters most—getting the support you need.
