Parameters and Assessment

Once a client presents to me, the first few sessions are devoted to a thorough assessment and history. I then provide feedback about the direction of future sessions and, together with the client, create a plan for the time here.

Every client is assessed individually and then given feedback so they clearly understand the commitment and direction of therapy.
