Patient Care Coordinators


Our wonderful patient care coordinators assist in matching the perfect clinician for each client's individual needs. Once a successful connection is established, they facilitate the administration and communication of scheduling and billing. Each PCC goes through individualized training with Katie and Adam and they also support and grow with each other. ​If you've never participated in talk therapy before, they can answer your questions and familiarize you with the process. If you are already familiar with mental health counseling, the PCCs aim to provide service and attention that exceeds your expectations.
