Getting Started

Phone Consultation

Before starting treatment, I find it helpful to offer prospective patients a free, 15-minute phone consultation. During your consultation, we can talk about the issues for which you are seeking help, discuss my approach, and determine–together–whether we might work well together.

To schedule your initial phone consultation, please call my office at (205) 657-1306 and leave your name, phone number, and good times to reach you. If it’s more convenient, you may also email me at dr.hunt@melissakhuntphd.com.

Please suggest some times to call when you will have enough privacy to briefly discuss your interest in therapy. Expect a call back within 48 hours, unless you have specified another time.

The Intake Session

If our phone conversation indicates that I can be helpful to you, and you feel comfortable meeting with me, we will schedule a first session which will be in-person, at my office in Northport. Over the course of 60 minutes, we’ll discuss your concerns, determine whether my approach and experience meets your needs, and develop an initial treatment plan.

My goal is always to help you find the best therapeutic outcome possible. If, after this meeting, one of us feels that you are better served by another therapist’s personality or expertise, I will help you to connect with someone who can better address your needs.

To schedule your in-person consultation, please contact me via phone at (205) 657-1306, or via email at dr.hunt@melissakhuntphd.com.
