So what should you expect when you come in? Well, the first thing, is actually the phone contact. There, we’ll speak briefly and we’ll try to get an initial handle on what’s going on. At that point, we may decide to make an appointment. My first visits are 60 minutes, and subsequent visits are 45 minutes. We will then be in the consultation process.
Now, often, it’s simply just not possible to get the full story in one hour, so the consultation process may take several sessions. But at least by the first visit, we’ll usually start to understand and paint the first brush strokes of the picture that will allow us to start the treatment process.
During this time you will have an opportunity to talk all about your current problems and your history. You are welcome and encouraged to bring copies of any information, previous evaluations and medical reports that you would like to share.
Finally, we will come up with a plan that fits your needs and we’ll start moving in the direction of healing. |
