Services concerning a minor are very similar. Your initial meeting will be about 50 minutes in length. There will be an initial “intake session” with the counselor, child and the caregivers. The initial session is designed to obtain the family history, a history of the child’s development, background, reason for referral, and any concerns the caregiver may have. During the initial session, caregivers have the opportunity to ask questions, and become educated on the therapeutic process. At the end of the session, the counselor will provide recommendations. It will be helpful at that time for you and the counselor to discuss and decide on the options and recommendations you want to pursue.
