First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then go into the history of present illness and the specific challenges that you are facing at the moment. This will help me to create an individualized plan of care for follow-up sessions. Evaluation will include description of behaviors (like when do the behaviors happen? how long does the behavior last? what are the conditions in which the behaviors most often happen?). Description of symptoms (physical and psychiatric symptoms) and the effects of behaviors or symptoms related to work performance and activities of daily living.
