The initial assessment in psychotherapy serves as crucial opportunity for both the psychotherapist and patient to deepen their understanding of one another. Our skilled psychotherapists will understand your concerns, fostering an environment where you feel comfortable and at ease.
What Can I Expect at My Appointment?
During an initial assessment, our psychotherapists will begin with introductions to establish a foundation where you can both build a trusting and safe environment. They will discuss aspects of your life like family background, education, work and relationships and you will also have the opportunity to discuss any struggles, concerns, thoughts and behaviours you may be experiencing. Our psychotherapists use a psychodynamic assessment to treat conditions like anxiety, depression and trauma.
