Assessment Phase. An initial evaluation may last from 2-4 sessions. During the assessment phase I am getting to know and understand you, your worldview, strengths, concerns, needs, family and relationship dynamics, etc. During this phase I am gathering a lot of information. During this phase, you are becoming comfortable with me and starting to build trust in me and the process of therapy. During this phase it may not feel like we are moving forward quickly, but it is imperative for me to gather this information to assist you the best I can. During this time, we both decide if I am the best person to provide therapeutic services for your specific needs. If you or I determine that I am not the best person to address your needs, then referrals will be made for a more appropriate treatment provider.
