This brief phone call is meant to answer your questions and to ensure that Restore Therapy Center is the right fit for you.
The first appointment is a broad overview to go over your individual history, family history and goals for therapy. Our hope for this appointment is that you leave feeling hopeful and confident that you are now on a path that can lead you to healing, happiness and fulfillment.
Your first few therapy appointments are considered “assessment sessions.” Everyone has a unique story; assessment sessions ensure that the presenting problem is fully understood, so that therapy can be tailored to you specifically. Then we discuss and decide how to best meet your needs. Typically, when first beginning therapy, clients come every week or every other week. As progress is made, clients often choose to space out their appointments based on how much support they are needing at that time.
