What will happen during my first appointment?
When you arrive for your first appointment, our reception staff will ask you to complete some preliminary paperwork and then you will meet with your assigned clinician for a private interview. During that meeting, your reasons for seeking help will be discussed and a treatment plan with recommendations will be completed. If you decide to continue in treatment with us, your provider will make these arrangements with you, including appointments with our psychiatry staff for medication services if needed.
