Initial Assessment
A therapeutic process starts with an assessment. The initial assessment helps us figure out what approaches suit your mental health challenges. The assessment can last 1 or 2 sessions, sometimes more.
What to expect? You will be asked a set of questions and/or to complete questionnaires to help determine which direction to go. The subsequent sessions are determined collaboratively with your therapist following the goals you wish to reach.
