It is a process that involves us working together to understand you and your history, and making sense of the challenges you are experiencing in the present. What to Expect Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, and for you to make sure you feel comfortable in the space. I will ask you some questions about what you have been experiencing and provide you with information about treatment. We will work together to set goals for therapy and determine an ongoing plan for therapy. Appointment frequency differs for each individual depending on their personal circumstances, however treatment is most effective when sessions are held weekly to fortnightly on an initial basis . It is normal to feel emotional after your first appointment. It can be a good idea to schedule something relaxing or enjoyable after this session, rather than going straight back to school or the office. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bb934c742d2a5ee525eb40/1641635063501-5K5JREU29QEMSO1ZHIZM/Emily+Brichacek+Psychology About - Psychological Testing & Assessment I offer comprehensive psychological evaluations for the assessment of intellectual disability, specific learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia), giftedness, autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for ages 6-18, as well as adults.
