Our Intake Process
When potential patients contact the intake line, they will be able to ask any relevant questions and schedule their initial appointment with one of our highly trained clinicians. During the initial appointment, the clinician will conduct a clinical and diagnostic assessment to identify an appropriate course of treatment that best fits the patient’s clinical needs and goals.
If Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is deemed to be the most appropriate form of treatment for the patient’s presentation, the clinician and patient will complete four pretreatment sessions focused on orienting the client to the treatment model, introducing parts of treatment necessary to success, and acquiring the patient’s commitment to engage in treatment for an identified length of time. We want our patients to be informed consumers of the treatment they are engaging in. The assessment process is essential to treatment success and helping the patient understand their course of treatment and individual needs.
