HELP CENTER
WHERE ARE SESSIONS HELD?
Sessions can be conveniently scheduled via telehealth, in your home, at your child's school, or in our office. Therapists will discuss options with you and are able to customize your treatment to your individual needs.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
Please call the office to schedule your initial assessment. Once you are matched with a therapist, you will schedule with the therapist during hours convenient to your schedule (most therapists have weekend and evening availability).
HOW LONG WILL THE PROCESS TAKE?
Your therapy journey is individualized to your needs. Individual sessions are typically held weekly for about an hour and an additional family session monthly. Once you achieve 80% of your treatment goals, we recommend going to twice monthly sessions until completing 90% of your goals, then once montly for goal achievement and maintenance. SAIOP groups are held three days weekly for three hours each for twelve weeks. Your therapist will discuss options with you during treatment planning and review regularly.
