Secure intake

You don’t need all the answers before reaching out.

The secure intake collects enough clinical and practical information for a clinician to review safety, goals, treatment history, service fit, availability, and funding before recommending the next step. Completing it does not commit you to treatment.

You don’t need to choose a program before contacting us. Intake does not commit you to treatment.

What happens next

  • No physician referral required to begin
  • Clinician-reviewed rather than an automated diagnosis
  • Used to recommend individual, group, guided, comprehensive, specialized, or non-DBT care
What the intake reviews

Why these questions matter

The information prevents the clinic from recommending a program based only on a diagnosis label or a brief symptom list.

Current concerns and goals

What is happening, what is most costly, and what you want to change.

Safety and current support

Self-harm, suicidal thinking, violence risk, crisis use, hospital care, safety plans, and who is involved.

Treatment and medical context

Previous therapy, DBT exposure, diagnoses, medication, prescribers, substance use, and relevant health concerns.

Practical fit

Availability, privacy for online care, technology, location, funding, insurance, and preferred format.
How care begins

A clear pathway—without guessing where to start

You do not need to know the diagnosis, program, or clinician before reaching out.

01 — Secure intake

Tell us what is happening, what you want to change, and any safety, scheduling, or funding needs.

02 — A clinician reviews your needs

A clinician reviews the pattern, risk level, goals, diagnosis questions, and amount of structure needed.

03 — Clear recommendation

You receive a recommendation that fits your needs: individual DBT, a group, guided support, coordinated care, or another pathway.

04 — Begin with a plan

Care starts with explicit targets, skills practice, progress review, and a plan for support between sessions.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions you may have

No. It starts a clinical fit review. The recommendation depends on current risk, goals, treatment needs, availability, and service capacity.

You do not need to choose a service first. The intake is specifically designed to support that decision.

Yes. Professional information can supplement the client intake and can be sent through the clinic’s approved channels.

Do not wait for intake review. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for immediate danger. HealthLine 811 and 988 are additional crisis resources.

A practical next step

Begin when you are ready for a clinician-reviewed recommendation.

A clinician—not an automated quiz—reviews the information and identifies the next useful step.
