Therapy Process

All therapies begin with a diagnostic evaluation discussing your symptom history and goals for therapy.  The initial session is also an opportunity to get to know your therapist and decide if you wish to work together.  A strong working relationship is the foundation of successful therapy.  Therefore, it is important that you feel like your therapist is a good fit for your needs and personality and that you feel a sense of trust and rapport with them.

The initial session also leads to a working mental health diagnosis, which is required for insurance billing purposes.  Our diagnostic process employs the biopsychosocial model for mental illness as well as the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) model for psychotherapy.  The patient offered the opportunity to ask questions and offer feedback throughout the diagnostic process and the duration of therapeutic services.  The cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) model of psychotherapy is further utilized as a framework for the patient understand the process of therapy and how it will benefit them.  Finally, the patient’s specific goals for therapy are agreed upon and the therapeutic process begins.
