By Telephone:
To make a referral by telephone, please speak with our Office Administrator at (902) 455-9939. If the
Office Administrator is not available to take your call, please leave a message on our confidential
answering service. Please state that your call is for the purpose of making a referral. Be sure to
include your name and preferred telephone number. Let us know if it is acceptable to leave a message.
The Office Administrator will return your call as soon as possible. Pertinent referral information will
be recorded on a referral form.
The Referral Procedure:
Once the referral information has been received by the Office Administrator it will be provided to the
Intake Coordinator. This professional will bring it to the weekly clinical meeting. Following a review
of the information, a therapist will be assigned to your case. You will be contacted to make arrangements
for an appointment that is convenient to your schedule.
If you request a particular therapist by name, please provide this information when you are making the
referral. In most cases, the requested therapist will be assigned to this client. If the requested
therapist is unable to see the client within a reasonable time frame, the client will be contacted to
discuss his/her options. If the client specifically states a preference for a male or female therapist,
this request will be honored.
If a client is in crisis and requires immediate crises intervention, the Intake Coordinator will contact
the client on a priority basis to help her/him begin to deal with the crisis and to make arrangements for
the earliest possible therapy session.
