Services
What to expect
Following the initial screening and intake process, a comprehensive initial interview will be completed by one of our Psychology Interns, where information relevant to your particular concerns will be obtained.
During the interview, and at subsequent times, you may be asked to complete a number of questionnaires or rating scales. These are helpful in designing a treatment program tailored to your needs and evaluating its effectiveness.
Between sessions you may be asked to record information that will be useful to your clinician in determining the best treatment strategies.
Subsequent sessions will involve monitoring progress and addressing your specific concerns. Regular follow-up contact is also conducted to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of treatment, where appropriate.
