Your Questions, Answered: What the Bi-Coastal Expansion Means for You
Hi again,
Since launching my solo practice in Virginia Beach and continuing care in Portland, Oregon, many of you have reached out with heartfelt questions — and I’m so glad you did.
This post is here to offer clarity and reassurance, whether you're a current client or considering care with us for the first time.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I still be able to meet with Tina if I’m based in Virginia Beach?
A: Absolutely. I now offer care through my own solo practice — Alis Family Psych Virginia Beach — with hybrid care available: both virtual sessions and in-person visits throughout the year. If you’re local, we can meet face-to-face. If not, we can stay connected virtually.
Q: I’m a new client in Portland — when can I book a session?
A: I’ve been seeing clients in Portland for over a year. I’m actively accepting new appointments.
Q: Will this affect your availability or scheduling?
A: Nope. I adjust my schedule to support clients in both locations. If you’re already working with me, we’ll continue to find a rhythm that supports your needs.
Q: Do I need to do anything differently if I'm already a client?
A: Nope again — you're all set. If you’re an existing client, nothing changes for you. If anything does shift, I’ll communicate it clearly and directly.
Q: What if I move between states — can I still work with you?
A: Yes, in most cases. I’m licensed in multiple states and offer virtual care across state lines. Let’s talk about your location and make sure it’s all aligned.
Q: How do I contact you if I have more questions?
A: You can reach out here via our contact page, or email me directly at alisfamilypsychteam@hushmail.com. I’m always happy to help. I’m always happy to help.
🌿 Final Thought
This season has brought some exciting changes, but my mission remains the same:
to make care more human, more grounded, and more accessible — no matter where you are.
Thank you for trusting me with your story.
