The intitial evaluation is an opportunity to discuss the presenting concern, expectations for counseling and goals for treatment. If the client is a minor, the initial evaluation is scheduled with parents. It is typically asked that your child does not attend the initial evaluation to give you an opportunity to freely discuss the presenting concern. Your child will have an opportunity to attend an individual session after the initial evaluation.
Treatment is highly individualized based on the client's needs. In the beginning of the therapeutic process, it is typically recommended to attend individual counseling weekly. However, this is based on the presenting concern, and your individualized treatment. If the client is a minor, it is expected that parents will be involved in their child's treatment by attending parent sessions regularly.
Parent sessions are scheduled to check-in with you about your child's treatment. This gives you an opportunity to discuss your child's progress or any concerns you have about the therapeutic process. It is also a great time to explore different strategies and tools to help you address your child's needs.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
