Psychosocial Assessments
This is the first step for most clients. The purpose of an assessment is to help both the client and counselor understand the problem's history and how the problem currently interferes with the client's ideal functioning. In this stage, clients will also be given a diagnosis according to the DSM-5 and be recommended a level of care. Treatment modalities and individual treatment goals may be discussed at this time, but will be discussed continually throughout treatment.
​
After determining a diagnosis, level of care, and initial treatment plan, clients will begin Individual Therapy, Couples Counseling, or Family Therapy.

Individual Psychotherapy
Clients may be seen at a frequency depending on the level of care recommended and agreed between client and counselor. Session length is typically a 50-min "hour."
