What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will complete a physical and mental health evaluation, review medical records from prior treatment, discuss your goal and expectations of treatment, discuss treatment options, order diagnostic tests as appropriate, develop treatment plan, answer any questions you may have. We will also discuss the rules and expectations of this practitioner. Follow up appointment will be scheduled at the end of the session.
