During the first 4-6 weeks of our engagement, we will focus on building rapport. During this period, we will work together to identify your goals and objectives for the treatment plan, and also identify any triggers, motivators, and core values and beliefs that will be helpful for you throughout our time together. We will also discuss the assessment that will be used, treatment modalities, homework assignments, and the process for updating treatment plans every 3 months.
Typically during the first session we will review evaluation recommendations, discuss the schedule, and complete a rapport builder questionnaire.
