Pre-Treatment/ Assessment Sessions
The initial assessment process will provide an opportunity for you to share your goals for treatment. At the conclusion of this initial step, we will share and reflect on your needs and goals, and will propose an individualized treatment plan. You will be invited to openly discuss your feelings and willingness to pursue this plan. Starting therapy can be a commitment towards your wellness journey and it is important that we are on the same page as of what this journey will look like.
Adults
The adult assessment period consists of 1 to 2 sessions before treatment begins. The first session will last for 60 minutes. No actual psychotherapy treatment will take place during the assessment period however it is very important for the therapist to take the time to explore your strengths and challenges.
Adolescents, Young Adults
An in-depth evaluation and diagnostic assessment is conducted with adolescents and young adults. This extensive initial assessment is conducted over the course of 3 separate sessions allowing the therapist to understand relevant social-emotional and biological factors and to determine if our approach would suit the youth needs. The parent/guardian will be invited to better understand the dynamics of the relationship and to be inclusive of the solutions. Both parties’ confidentiality is honored.
