Initial Clinical Assessment

Before your first visit, your therapist will reach out to you to arrange a consultation over the phone to conduct an initial assessment. This helps establish a connection with your therapist, as well as formulate treatment goals, so your initial session and ongoing therapy are as successful as possible.

“Patrick saved my marriage. First session in, he was able to connect with my husband — someone who says maybe 10 words a day. I’ve seen therapists since I was 16, and he is hands down one of THE best.”
