How will I know I am receiving the treatment I need?

This will be evidenced by your progress with treatment. You will receive a comprehensive clinical assessment and the licensed therapist makes a recommendation on the services you will be recommended for. Once the services are recommended a counselor will begin working with you after we receive authorization from your insurance provider.  We work with you to develop goals that you desire, that are person centered. At this time if treatment is not going as you planned please ask to speak with a supervisor to determine how we can best meet your needs. If at any time you are unsatisfied with the services being provided please speak with a supervisor to tell them your concerns. If that does not resolve your concerns you are free to seek services from another provider which we would assist you with accessing.
