Psychiatric Intake

Overview of the Intake Process

During the intake process, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including family interviews and a 1:1 assessment with your child if indicated. This thorough approach helps us understand your child's needs and formulate an appropriate care plan.

What to Expect

The psychiatrist will review all available data, such as documents from previous treatments, school records, and notes from other providers. Additionally, forms and assessment tools provided to you before the session will also be examined to gain a holistic understanding.

Additional Insights

  1. Bring any materials that may help, such as drawings or projects your child is working on.
  2. Share observations about your child’s behavior, progress, and challenges.
  3. Expect open communication and a collaborative approach during the session.

Documents to Prepare

  • Records from previous treatments or healthcare providers.
  • School documents or teacher notes, if applicable.
