Assessment and Clinical Formulation
Before beginning therapy, I take time to understand your experiences, context, and goals. This may include meeting with parents or caregivers, reviewing history, and developing a shared understanding of what is happening and what may help. The formulation guides the pace, focus, and approach of the work so that therapy feels safe, purposeful, and responsive to your needs.
