Please feel free to ask staff about their professional qualifications and experience. Generally you will be asked to bring along other family members in order to provide as broad a perspective as possible, although you or your child may also be seen alone. Youth may wish to be seen on their own, and this is fine. If you are unsure about who should attend the initial session, please contact the Intake Coordinator or ask that the clinician call you to discuss the matter. This will depend upon your situation and need.
Families usually come weekly or every second week.
Some situations can be resolved in a few sessions, while others require meetings over the course of a few months or longer. Sometimes families will meet intensively at a certain stage in their children's lives and then return from time to time for a few sessions in order to address specific issues. Remember that you are an important part of the process. Please speak openly about your concerns and be sure to ask questions when you are unsure about something. Try to keep an open mind to new ideas or information that may come up in sessions.
