Counseling sessions take place in the home of the client. In the interest of time, clients are asked to download, review and sign informed consent, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) and insurance reimbursement forms (if applicable) prior to the initial counseling session. If the client chooses to complete the forms during the initial session, the process will take approximately thirty minutes. The average duration of a counseling session is one hour, however the initial session will likely last two hours or more.
Information regarding the medical and psychological history of the client will be requested. Treatment practices, philosophy, a provisional plan of action, limitations, risks and other terms will be discussed. Preliminary goals will be set and recommendations related to a tentative diagnosis, frequency of appointments and supplemental services will be presented.
