Contact: Schedule Your Free 15-Minute Consultation
I provide ACT-led, trauma-informed therapy for adults via telehealth across California and Virginia.
What Happens Next
Request your free consult. Email me or use the form, and please don't include personal health or medical information in either. I'll reply with times for our 15-minute phone call.
Meet by phone (15 minutes). This free 15-minute phone call is with me, Dr. Sheila Vidal, a licensed clinical psychologist. It is not therapy or an intake. We'll talk briefly about your goals, your privacy preferences, and whether you'd prefer to meet online or in person in Folsom. There's no pressure to decide on the spot; the call simply helps us confirm fit and next steps.
If it’s a match, begin care. Once your intake session is scheduled, I'll send a brief intake link. As care begins, we'll draft a first-month plan together (pace, focus, session rhythm). I keep documentation lean and aligned with your privacy needs.
At your first appointment, I review informed consent with you, including risks, benefits, privacy, and alternatives.
