4/16/2026 Update - I am accepting new clients
Please see below for next steps.
Getting Started
I like to start wit a free 15 minute call to help me learn more about your goals and therapy and answer your questions before scheduling a full intake.
To schedule that appointment you can email me at tim@timrjohnston.com or call me at 607-366-3226.
Before our first meeting 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 several meetings 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.
Assuming we both agree that it is a good fit, we will set goals and begin therapy. If you do not feel like I am a good fit for you or your needs that is completely fine, and I will help refer you to another clinician.
