FAQs

  • Step 1 | Service Inquiry

    We invite prospective clients to fill out the Services Inquiry form on our website. Once reviewed, we will schedule a 15-20 minute phone consultation to answer immediate questions and better explain how we work. The call is confidential, complimentary, and you’re under no obligation. After this call, if you feel redpoint is right for you, we will schedule an onboarding meeting.

    Step 2 | Initial Assessment & Onboarding

    Our partnership begins by meeting in person or talking by phone (if necessary) to take the time we need to properly discuss your experiences, preferences, strengths, values, needs, goals and barriers.

    Fees begin at the official onboarding session. Our onboarding process takes place over two visits to allow time for several case management tasks that benefit the client. In general, these are the Client Onboarding steps:

    1ST VISIT: 75-minutes; Initial Assessment (in person, by phone, or via telehealth)

    2ND VISIT: 60-minutes; Client and Coach create an initial 30-day Action Plan together, map out roles and responsibilities, and plan for disclosure.

    Case Management: Up to 2 hours; redpoint will review any pertinent records and the intake packet and follow up with responsible parties regarding our recommendations.

    Step 3 | Skill Building

    As you embark on your journey, we will provide space, facilitate clarity and self-discovery, and monitor your progress. We will be at your side through all the steps forward. If and when there is a step back—we call this a restart or reset—we will adapt and modify the plan to better fit your changing needs and preferences.

    Step 4 | Reach Your Goals!

    Continuity, consistency and clear communication will keep us on track every step of the way; these tools are essential to our process to provide the best possible quality care for you. Together, when we reach the summit, you will be well on your way to leading the intentional, purposeful, independent and more fulfilling life you deserve and realize they are not facing many of life’s great challenges alone.
