When starting individual therapy, you can expect the following during the first session. Initially, we will review the clinical forms and you will sign the forms once you have read them. Forms include the following: Consent Form, Child Assent Form (if applicable), Financial Policy, Privacy Practices Form, Disclosure Form, and Consent to Release/Obtain Information (if applicable). For the remainder of the session a semi-structured intake will be completed assessing your goals for treatment and current major concerns. Additional history information will be discussed, for example, past counseling experiences, current medications, family background, and interpersonal relationships.
For child clients information will be discussed regarding developmental background, educational history, previous testing, behavior concerns, and social concerns. Following the initial intake session, subsequent sessions will focus on addressing the established goals for treatment.
