Mental Health Assessment
(Intake)

        During the first session, we conduct a comprehensive mental health assessment to understand the "why" behind your decision to seek our services. This collaborative process involves gathering information about your overall mental health, including current and past symptoms, level of functioning, treatment experiences, and clinical history. It provides you with a chance to discuss your concerns and experiences openly. The gathered information guides the creation of your personalized treatment approach.
