How to initiate the enrollment process

Step 1: Submit your inquiry

Begin your journey with Beyond Therapy by submitting an enrollment inquiry through our webform. This allows our team to determine if our services align with your health and recovery goals.

Step 2: Complete the new client questionnaire

Upon reviewing your inquiry, we will send you a detailed questionnaire to gather comprehensive information about your medical history and health objectives. This step includes a required medical examination or physical assessment by a qualified medical professional.

Step 3: Schedule and attend your initial client evaluation
