New Patients
Begin Your Journey
Welcome to Oakwood Counseling. If you’re interested in any of our services—whether counseling, evaluation, or family support—your journey with us starts right here. Fill out our New Patients form using the link below to begin. We understand that taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to walk that road alone. Many people find relief in simply reaching out, and from the moment you complete the form, you are no longer facing this process by yourself.
New Patients Form
We believe every individual and family deserves a safe, compassionate environment where they can be seen, heard, and truly understood. Our therapists and psychologists are committed to creating that space for you. If online forms aren’t your preference, that’s completely fine—just print out the paper form, complete it at your convenience, and bring it into our office or fax it to 979.694.7337. However you choose to submit your information—whether online, by fax, or in person—we’ll treat your request with care, privacy, and respect.
Life brings stress, family changes, and unexpected challenges. Sometimes mental health concerns surface suddenly, and other times they’ve been building quietly for years. No matter the reason, we’re here to help you take the next step. After you complete the new patients form, our team will verify your insurance benefits. We work with most major insurance providers, and in many cases, we can also accommodate others. If insurance isn’t an option, we proudly offer sliding scale options through our Oakwood Counseling program, because we believe cost should never prevent receiving support.
What to Expect
Once your form is submitted, our process begins:
- Insurance Verification — We’ll contact your provider directly to determine what is covered, what may require out-of-pocket expenses, and whether any approvals are needed before services begin.
- Scheduling Your First Appointment — After benefits are confirmed, we’ll reach out to schedule your first session. We’ll carefully match you with a therapist whose skills and experience align best with your needs, personality, and goals.
- Ongoing Care — From the first session onward, our goal is to provide not only therapy, but also consistent support, encouragement, and practical strategies you can use in daily life.
Questions, Concerns, and Resources
It’s natural to have questions, especially when starting something new. If you ever feel unsure about forms, fees, what therapy looks like, or how our assessments work, we encourage you to ask. Our FAQ page provides helpful answers to common concerns, and our staff is always available by phone at (979) 229-7636. We want you to feel comfortable, informed, and confident before you even walk through our doors—which is how all new patients are treated at Oakwood.
