Initial Visit
Understanding what to expect during your initial visit is an important step in seeking treatment. At Advanced Psychiatric Solutions, we provide a welcoming environment for individuals, families, and children in Pennsylvania. This page outlines what happens during your first appointment, helping to alleviate any concerns and ensuring a smooth start to your therapeutic journey.
What to Expect During Your Initial Visit
Your initial visit is designed to help you feel comfortable and to gather essential information about your mental health needs. During this appointment, you will meet with the provider who will take the time to learn about you and your situation. This first session typically lasts around 60 to 90 minutes, allowing ample time for discussion. We will discuss your reasons for seeking treatment, any previous mental health experiences, and what you hope to achieve.
Assessing Your Individual and Family Needs
At Advanced Psychiatric Solutions, we recognize that everyone’s journey to improved mental health is unique. For individuals, we will explore your personal history, challenges, and strengths. If you are bringing your child for assessment, we will discuss their specific challenges and family dynamics to ensure a holistic approach. This thorough assessment allows us to tailor our therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs effectively, whether you are an adult treatment, a parent addressing a child's behavioral concerns, or a family in need of guidance.
Ice Breaker
Tea can be calming and soothing. You might find yourself a little nervous about your first appointment. Your first cup of tea is on us!
Tea can serve as an icebreaker, establish working relationships, and mutual trust. What’s better than a refreshing cup of simmering flavorful hot tea to break the ice and initiate a new discussion?
I'll have my tea read to go during our initial appointment. See you there!
