Initial Educational 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.
