5/16/2026 Update: I am not accepting any new clients at this time.
Free Initial Consultation Call
I like to start with a free 15 minute call to help me learn more about your goals for therapy and answer your questions before scheduling a full intake.
You can reach me via:
Email: tim@timrjohnston.com
Phone or Text: 607-366-3226
I take steps to secure my email and phone, but please be mindful about leaving medical or sensitive information. You can request a meeting without sending any details about your concerns and we can discuss the specifics when we meet.
Intake Process and Starting Therapy
Before our first full session, I’ll send you some intake paperwork through SimplePractice. That paperwork will include some demographics and history, standard questionnaires, and information related to insurance and payment.
During our first meeting I will ask questions about your reasons for seeking therapy, medical and psychiatric history, relationships, and goals for therapy.
Therapy is most effective when there is a sense of connection between the therapist and client, so this is also your chance to see if you feel comfortable with me and for me to answer your questions about my approach and therapeutic style.
If you do not feel like we are a good match, that is totally fine, and I will help refer you to another clinician.
Assuming we both agree that it is a good fit, we will set goals, discuss our plan for reaching those goals, and begin therapy.
