What to expect at your first appointment?
During your intake appointment you will be asked to complete necessary forms to help gather information about presenting concerns, as well as a consent for treatment. These forms are done electronically or pencil and paper. During your first appointment, you and the Mental Health Specialist will discuss presenting concerns and a plan for treatment. Session frequency will be determined by the Mental Health Specialist and the student.
