How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
I use empirically validated Pre-Treatment Assessments to begin treatment intervention which will provide the basis for your Psychological Evaluation and evidence-based Treatment Plan. The Pre-Treatment Assessments help both of us to better focus on your therapeutic needs and to measure your progress. I begin treatment intervention by assessing for comorbid mental health and substance use concerns. If only mental health concerns are initially presented and substance use concerns present afterward, I will recommend a concurrent or subsequent substance use treatment intervention. If only substance use concerns are initially presented, and mental health concerns present afterward, I will recommend a concurrent or subsequent mental health treatment intervention.
