Evaluations
Evaluations are often used to clarify a diagnosis and help with treatment planning. You might need an evaluation at the request of your job or school, or even another provider. I offer a brief, 4-session evaluation service to gather information related to your mental status, history, experiences of symptoms, and conditions. At the end of the process, I provide a comprehensive report to use as requested.
During evaluations, much like therapy with me, I place an emphasis on creating an empathic space to help you feel comfortable. Whether you decide to continue therapy with me or elsewhere, I still believe that putting words to your experiences is the start of a therapeutic process. The evaluation will involve pertinent questions to your mental health and, if needed, the use of structured assessments to clarify diagnoses.
“Your understanding of your inner self holds the meaning of your life.”
— Leo Tolstoy
Let’s take that next step, together.
I like to schedule complimentary phone consultations to make sure we are a good fit and answer any questions you may have before starting therapy.
