This is a free phone conversation to help you determine if services would be a benefit to you.
-
Comprehensive evaluations are necessary to develop a plan to best fit your needs. This will include intake and patient history, formal observations, along with professional clinical judgement. Following the evaluation a detailed report and a treatment plan will be written based on the individual patient’s plan and goals for therapy.
-
After an evaluation is completed therapy sessions can begin and will follow the recommended treatment plan that was created. Recommended length and frequency of therapy sessions is based on each individual’s needs; typically ranging from 30-60 minutes 1-2 times a week. Consistent data will be taken during each session to monitor progress and make certain we are achieving your goals.
Additional therapy activities will be provided by the therapist for you to complete at home between therapy sessions to increase functional outcome and confidence to continue to bloom.
