INTAKE – 1ST APPOINTMENT
The intake appointment is where you and/or your child will meet with the therapist for the first time. In order to collect the necessary background information, all therapy clients will complete intake forms prior to their first appointment where assessments will be conducted. For parents of minors, an intake form* for your child will need to be completed prior to the first appointment. For teenagers or young adults, a separate intake form should be completed by the young client when possible. This information will provide crucial background information the therapist will need to develop a collaborative treatment plan** as well as to gain insight to your child’s challenges before the first session.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You will meet with a warm, caring and experienced professional who strives to make you and your child feel welcome and understood. Bloom Therapy is a bright, comfortable space and thoughtfully designed for working with kids and families with a play space, books, games, soft couches and healthy snacks. In addition to the cheerful therapy office, the space can expand to therapeutic practices into the kitchen, the garden, and even onto local walking trails.
