Getting started

Elyse will have a brief phone consultation to find out the presenting problem and provide information regarding her practice.  Intake forms can be completed before the first session. Beginning with the intake process, an appointment will be scheduled with the parents only, to obtain a full developmental history about their child. The next step would be to make an appointment and meet with the child separately, to get to know each other and make sure your child feels comfortable.  After this session, the parents and the child will decide whether this therapy is the right fit.  If so, there will be continued weekly sessions approximately 6o minutes in length.  The breakdown of the session: Elyse will spend approximately 45 minutes with the child and the last 15 minutes with the child’s parents.
