Treatment Process

Treatment Process

Treatment begins with a comprehensive 60-minute intake session. A thorough assessment ensures a clear understanding of symptoms, strengths, and goals. While some assessments require more than one session, this foundation allows for a targeted, individualized treatment plan.

From there, therapy focuses on building practical, evidence-based skills designed to create measurable and lasting improvement.
