Assessment is an important component of the therapeutic process. It allows both the therapist and the client to have a better understanding of some of the factors that may be influencing the current concerns, as well as some of the areas of strength that we may be able to access to facilitate healing and growth. Many clients choose to complete the assessment prior to attending the initial intake session, so we can utilize our time together in more of a discussion format. However, if you prefer support while thinking about some of these areas we can complete the assessment together during our intake.
