New Patient Guide
How to book, what to bring and what happens at intake.
Coming soonA first appointment generally begins with registration, appropriate consent and an assessment of the reason for seeking care. The clinician may review symptoms, relevant history, current functioning, safety concerns, substance use, medical factors and treatment goals according to the service being provided. Assessment findings help determine recommendations and the next appropriate step.
Patient preparation information is general. Do not delay emergency care while gathering records or completing website forms.
Detailed psychiatric, substance-use or medical history is never collected through this website’s public forms. Completed clinical forms are handled through an approved secure patient-portal / EHR workflow when available. Public downloads are limited to non-sensitive preparation checklists and general policies once approved.
These guides are being prepared. They will be published here once reviewed.
