You can click as many concerns that you’d like to work on. You’ll see that the list of therapists who specialize in your specific needs will show up. Feel free to click on those therapists’ photos to get to their individual bios.
💡 Not sure where to start?
Our “Get Matched” feature asks a few quick questions and recommends the best therapist for you.
Once you’ve browsed our clinician tool to find the best fit therapist for you, you can fill out our contact form to provide us with all the background information we need. A member of our intake team will reach out to you to get the scheduling process started.
*Our office is open by appointment only and we do not have front desk staff. Appointments cannot be made in the office, only via email or phone. Thank you!
📞 Prefer email?
* Urban Wellness® is a paperless practice. After scheduling your appointment, a member of the intake team will email you a confirmation email with the link to our paperwork. Please fill out paperwork at least 48 hours before your first appointment on any tablet, smartphone or computer.
Please note, the form takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, as it includes questions that help your therapist get to know you. Though we have an intake iPad at our offices, admin staff aren’t always on location and your therapist may be in another session prior to yours. Waiting to complete the intake form may cut into your initial session time, we strongly advise doing so ahead of time.
