What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
One of the most important factors in a provider-patient relationship is trust. It is based on listening, understanding, and acting respectfully, with regards to desired goal outcomes. Trust is at the core foundation of a successful therapeutic relationship. You must trust my skills and judgment to allow me to care for you as I need to trust that you honestly share your history and story to allow me to create the best possible treatment plan. To build that relationship, we will be communicating and interacting through different assessment tools, among which the MDQ, GAD7, PHQ-9, PCL-5, ASRS-v I.I, and the intake form. Please note that it is very important to fill out such tools with the most accurate information that could lead us to satisfactory achievements
