Book a Free Discovery Call

Reaching out to a therapist for the first time - or the first time with someone new - takes something. There is often a moment of uncertainty before the message is sent. A quiet wondering whether this is the right thing, the right time, the right person.
That uncertainty is worth honoring, not rushing past.

This call is simply a conversation. Thirty minutes or so, unhurried, with no obligation in either direction. You're welcome to share what brings you here, ask whatever questions feel relevant, and get a sense of how I work. I'll do the same.

No assessment. No pressure. Just two people speaking, to see whether working together feels like the right next step.

After you reach out, I'll respond personally within 24 hours with a few available times. The call itself is relaxed and open. There is no script. Most people find it helpful to say something about what's been on their mind lately - not a full history, just what's present. From there, the conversation finds its own shape.

If it feels right for both of us, we take it from there. If it doesn't, that's entirely fine too. The point is simply to get a genuine sense of one another.

Everything shared in this call, and in all subsequent contact, is treated with complete confidentiality. You are not a file or a case. You are a person, and you will be treated as one.

When you're ready, the form below is the simplest way to reach out. You're also welcome to write directly to contact@claushansen.com if that feels more natural.

There is no perfect moment to begin. There is only the moment you decide to.
