book your phone screening

A phone screening with our Intake Coordinator is the first step in beginning services at Sprout Therapy PDX. This brief call helps us determine whether our outpatient services are a good fit for your needs and to identify appropriate next steps. The screening focuses on availability, insurance coverage, level of care needs, and the types of support you are seeking.

When you request a time for us to call you, you’ll be asked to answer a few brief questions about your therapy history and what you’re looking for. Once your appointment time is confirmed, we’ll send a small set of questionnaires that must be completed prior to your screening.

This screening is not therapy and does not establish care with Sprout Therapy PDX. You will only become a client after completing a full intake assessment and being formally assigned to a clinician. Participation in the screening does not guarantee availability of services, though many clients are able to be matched with a clinician during or shortly after the screening.

Following the screening, one or more of the following may occur:

  • Referral to individual therapy, therapy groups, medication management, or other internal services

  • Placement on a waitlist

  • Referral to external providers or resources if we are not the best fit

Internal Referrals

During the call, we’ll talk about what kind of support might be most helpful for you.

For some clients, this may include therapy alone; for others, it may involve coordinated care with additional providers such as medication management, case management, or peer support. Participation in any service is always optional and based on your needs and preferences.
