First appointments can last over two hours due to the amount of information that is covered. At this appointment, patients will see a Licensed Therapist and a Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, or Psychiatrist. Our team will complete a Clinical Evaluation or Diagnostic Assessment to determine a diagnosis, if applicable, and recommendations for services needed. We have the ability to provide medication management at the first appointment, if necessary.
If we do not provide a service that is recommended, we can assist with linking to one of our many community partners. Our goal is to complete the total process from intake to initiation of services within five days. Depending on the availability of all parties involved, the intake to initiation of services process could take longer, but it is our goal to initiate services in the shortest possible time frame. We can also provide interpreting services as needed. If interpreting services are needed, please check the box on the referral form.
