What can I expect at my first appointment?
At your first appointment, you will meet with one of our psychologists or school psychologists to discuss your reasons for seeking help. Your provider may ask you questions about your beliefs, expectations, and experiences. The answers will help us to understand your current situation and outlook. You will work with your service provider to set a schedule for future appointments based on your agreed-upon treatment plan.
Our providers are doctoral-level psychologists and school psychologists trained to use best practice in psychological services. We are dedicated to providing thorough diagnostic evaluations and implementing evidence-based and research-supported treatment interventions.
Many people want to know how long it will take to see change or to feel different. The answer is that each person’s experience is different, and progress will depend in part on the treatment plan that you design. Patients can work with their service provider to identify target dates for the completion of goals.
Psychologists cannot prescribe medications. Although many psychologists are well-read on medical interventions, our approach focuses on changing environmental and behavioral factors.
