Some people are nervous about their first
appointment with a psychologist. Our goal is to make your first visit as comfortable as possible by preparing you for what
to expect and answering any questions you may have. Our first visit is called an "intake" and lasts 1 1/2 hours. At this visit,
we will collect background information, assess problem areas, and determine a preliminary plan for treatment. If we determine
that your needs may be better met by another clinician, we will make appropriate referrals.
