Appointment Confirmation: Once your appointment is confirmed, you will receive an email and text message with your Telehealth link. What to Expect During Your Initial Assessment: Duration: The assessment typically lasts around 45 minutes. Therapy Note: If you are seeking therapy, please be aware that the first appointment will be an initial assessment, not your ongoing therapy session. You will be contacted to schedule your therapy sessions after this assessment. Discussion Topics: You and your provider will discuss your mental health history, current symptoms, and any concerns you may have. This conversation helps in creating a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your goals. Confidentiality: Your privacy is our utmost priority. Everything discussed during your assessment is confidential, ensuring a safe and trusting environment. Preparing for Your Appointment: Consent Forms: Please complete all the required consent forms before your visit to avoid delays or cancellations. Write Down Your Concerns: Make a note of any symptoms, questions, or topics you wish to discuss with your provider. Gather Previous Records: If available, have any relevant medical or mental health records on hand. Ensure Privacy: For online appointments, find a quiet, private space where you can speak freely. Cancellation and Rescheduling: Life happens, and we understand. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do so at least 48 hours in advance to avoid cancellation fees and allow other patients the opportunity to book that time slot.
