Weingarden Psychological Services Group

After we schedule your initial intake session, I will send you confidentiality and consent forms, as well as a general intake document. This will facilitate the intake session, during which we will cover some basic background information and the reason your seeking therapy at this time. 

​

Subsequent sessions will be personalized to your individual needs. In broad terms, therapy typically follows a 3-step course: 

- Exploring the reason for therapy

- Working through, or resolving, those challenges

- Consolidating the work done in therapy and ending therapy

​

Therapy can be time-limited or long-term. Time limited therapy typically ranges from 12-16 weeks to address a specific, predetermined concern. Most people opt not to set a specific end date. Additionally, therapy is typically held the same time and day each week.

​

Client responsibilities include:

- Committing to the therapeutic process including:

- Sharing as openly as possible and working on therapeutic change

- Prioritizing therapy such as regularly attending sessions

- Covering the agreed upon costs based upon discussion with Dr. Weingarden and the policies described in the consent form.
