Getting Started
With My Counseling Services

Start Your Healing Journey

Congratulations! The first step to change is making the decision to do something about the issue. You can contact me here on my website, call 262-235-0050, or email me at lindapellmannlmft@gmail.com.

 Once I receive your contact information, I will respond, and we will schedule a phone call or the next step.
 
I will call you at the planned time. I will ask you why you decided to come to counseling now and you can share your concerns and ask questions. I will ask for basic contact information, explain tele-behavioral therapy or online video therapy, discuss payment and if you are ready, we will schedule an online appointment. Initially, I see clients weekly and then we collaboratively determine frequency of appointments. The call is usually about 20 minutes long. I will send you an invitation to join theraLink, the HIPPA Compliant Online video service platform I use. After you accept the theraLink invitation, I will send you consent forms to complete. 
 
If you do not have an email, we will discuss other arrangements.

During our first session, we will review the forms and policies, and I will answer any questions about them.

​

Next, I will explain the therapeutic process providing a safe space for you to ask questions and express your concerns.  Building trust is important to the therapeutic relationship and I strive to create a space where that happens. 
 
The rest of the time I’ll ask you to share the story of what brought you to counseling and what you want to accomplish. During this time, I will be asking you clarifying questions and taking notes to begin formulating a plan for our work together.

In the next few sessions, you will be the expert in unpacking your story with my guidance and therapeutic skill as we develop a plan for you to meet your goals. Open dialogue is welcome. 
 
In session or out of session work may include family mapping, timeline of events, or inventories, journaling, prayer, podcasts, reading, practicing skills. Fees will be scheduled with each appointment and paid through theraLink. 
 
If you come to therapy for an hour a week without doing homework/exercises it will be just like going to the gym one hour a week without working out in between… the change you want will not happen. The gym and therapy are life giving with work.

Couple at Home

"Through our work together, I experienced a profound self-awakening. I began to see how I could become a healthier, more grounded person—not just for the situation at hand, but for my life as a whole."
