Our services:
Assessment and Treatment Planning: During a psychosocial assessment, we will explore what is happening with you now in terms of the concerns you have, the symptoms you are experiencing (including frequency, duration, and intensity), and how those symptoms have changed over time. We will ask about what has happened to get you to where you are now, and what things you feel have contributed to your current situation (this may include life experiences, traumas, achievements, major transitions, etc.). We will also get information about any previous services you’ve had, any medication you take or have taken in the past, and if there are any medical issues to consider. We will ask for some details about your home, school, and social situations, determining areas of concern to address as well as areas of strength or resources to draw upon. Finally, we will use the information we gather during the assessment to complete any required prior authorization documentation for the insurance company and complete a treatment plan with you. The treatment plan gives us an idea of the goals you have for how you’d like things to look different, our objectives for reaching those goals, and how we plan to get there. This information is confidential and will only be released with your consent.
