What To Expect When You Arrive For Your Appointment

When you first walk into our resting area, you are greeted with warm smiles, soft lighting, and a calming environment. Our atmosphere is non clinical, casual and relaxed. We provide complimentary beverages and snacks and pride ourselves in making your minimal waiting period a pleasant one.

Psychotherapy

Your initial intake with your therapist will include a thorough exploration of your past and present psychosocial history and concerns along with your medical history information. All of this gathered information will give your therapist information that will help with your diagnosis and guide both of you to establishing the best therapeutic interventions for you. The therapeutic relationship is an essential part of the therapeutic process and our model requires that you and your therapist have an egalitarian (equal) relationship. Thus, you will be greeted by your first name and we ask that you greet us by ours. In the treatment room, there will be a dialog between client and therapist rather than a monologue.
