Services

 It should go without saying that you can expect absolute privacy and confidentiality.  There may be instances when you choose to allow information to be released; in that case, your Therapist should obtain a signed consent form from you. If your therapy is provided as an employment benefit, there should be no requirement for the Therapist to report back to an employer about your progress. 

During scheduling of your first appointment we will ask for some basic  information from you to assess if our practice can provide you with  appropriate treatment. If we determine we can help you, we will schedule  an in-take appointment. During this initial session a therapist will  evaluate you, asking about your background and why you are seeking  treatment. This is the occasion upon which you can begin to establish a  harmonious working relationship with the therapist. Any questions you  need answered about our service, including privacy practices, can be  responded to by the therapist at this session.

The first session is a collaborative effort by both participants to  determine the best treatment plan. If it is decided the therapist  assigned to you is a good fit, we will set up a regularly scheduled  appointment (usually on a weekly basis), according to the availability  of both participants. Therapy sessions normally run about one hour. The  second session with the therapist is about goal-setting and what are  your expectations of therapy, if any. From this second session forward,  you and the therapist will work to achieve the best outcome for your  mental health and / or personal growth issues.
