You can complete all your intake paperwork online without needing to print anything or complete additional forms in the office.  This allows your first visit with your therapist to be focused on getting right to work with you. 

If you are bringing your teen to counseling most first sessions will start with the teen and parent/caregiver and will likely end with just the therapist and your teen. If you have specific issues you wish to address immediately with your therapist, you may do this in your first session. If you are a bit unclear on your goals, your therapist will take some background information and ask you questions regarding symptoms you may be experiencing.

If you are taking medications of any kind, please have a list of them handy, as this information is sometimes important in identifying treatment needs and interventions.

If you are required to participate in counseling by any supervising authority and wish us to report back to that supervisor, please be prepared with contact information so that an Authorization for Release of Confidential Information may be completed before communication between your therapist and the supervisor.
