About Our Onboarding Process

Onboarding for Individual Therapy

1. Submit our Contact Us form.

2. Our admin will reach out to schedule a phone screening between the client, or parent/caregiver, and our clinical director, Melissa Nishman, LMHC (she/her) to find out if SAYFTEE is the right fit for them at this time.

3. If both Melissa and the client/parent/caregiver agree that SAYFTEE is the right fit, she will match them with a clinician.

4. Our admin will follow-up to:

   • schedule an intake appointment, if the matched clinician has availability that aligns with the client’s.

   • inform the client that we have added them to the clincian’s waitlist, if the matched clinician does not have availability that aligns with the client’s.

FAQs

Q: I’m interested in enrolling my child in services at SAYFTEE. Should they be present for the phone screening?

A: Nope! This phone screening will just be between our clinicial director and the parent/caregiver.

Q: If it turns out that SAYFTEE isn’t the right fit for me at this time, what happens next?

A: Our admin will follow-up with recommendations for other practices that may be a better fit for you. If we don’t have recommendations for you, we can find some for you if you are open to that.

Q: Is the phone screening the same thing as an intake appointment?

A: Nope! The intake appointment will be between the client and the matched clinician. Intakes are 50 minutes long, take place in-person or via telehealth, and are billed through insurance. The phone screening is a free 15-minute phone call between the client (if 18+) or the parent/caregiver (if client is under 18).
