## Arriving for Your Appointment

When you enter the building, please take the elevator to the third floor and proceed into the CollabHive lobby. You do not need to search for your therapist’s office or knock on any doors.

Simply take a seat in the CollabHive lobby or waiting area. At the time of your appointment, your therapist or psychologist will come out to greet you and bring you into the private office where your session will take place.

While you wait, please let us know if you would like a complimentary coffee, latte or tea. We would be happy to get one for you so that you can settle in and feel comfortable before your appointment begins.

4. Once you have been let in, park in the lot and enter the building.
