recommendations to help you, your counselor, and your other treatment providers.\u00a0 Depending on your goals, you might also be asked to participate in some tasks that help us learn more about your strengths as well as areas where you might need help.\u00a0 You are not expected to answer everything correctly or to excel at everything, there is no way to &#8220;fail&#8221; a psych eval, and so you are simply asked to do the best you can.\u00a0 Every effort is made to ensure your comfort throughout the evaluation (e.g. snack breaks and opportunities to ask questions, etc.), and most people

This is because when providers contract with insurance companies, insurance companies often delay the start of treatment, limit the amount or type of treatment that can be provided, require certain mental health diagnoses (and reject to reimburse certain diagnoses), and require the release of your private information.\u00a0 The insurance company decides what is \u201cmedically necessary,\u201d what tests I can and cannot use, how much time I spend with you, and how much time I spend compiling your evaluation report.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the interest of providing you with the most efficient and highest quality care, I am not on insurance panels.

sessions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the\u00a0<strong>first session<\/strong>, you will meet with Dr. Emily for\u00a0<strong>about an hour<\/strong>\u00a0so that she can learn more about you and your history, understand what problems or concerns you are currently experiencing, and learn about your goals for the evaluation.\u00a0 You are encouraged to reflect on areas of your life that are puzzling or troubling to you.<\/li>\n<li>In the\u00a0<strong>second session<\/strong>, you will meet with Dr. Emily again for anywhere\u00a0<strong>from 2-4 hours<\/strong>\u00a0to answer some more specific questions tailored to your individual needs.\u00a0 You will likely complete some standardized, evidence-based questionnaires, which will help you learn more about your personality, any possible diagnosis, and specific recommendations to help you, your counselor, and your other treatment providers.\u00a0 Depending on your goals, you might also be asked to participate in some tasks that help us learn more about your strengths as well as areas where you might need help.\u00a0 You are not expected to answer everything correctly or to excel at everything, there is no way to \u201cfail\u201d a psych eval, and so you are simply asked to do the best you can.\u00a0 Every effort is made to ensure your comfort throughout the evaluation (e.g. snack breaks and opportunities to ask questions, etc.), and most people find that the time goes by surprisingly fast.<\/li>\n<li>After Dr. Emily reviews all the data, a comprehensive report is written and provided to you in the <strong>third session<\/strong>, a feedback session (<strong>about an hour<\/strong>) in which you have the opportunity to review all the results and recommendations and ask questions about the report, which is yours to keep.\u00a0 Dr. Emily emphasizes a collaborative, humanistic approach to evaluation that highlights your strengths and promotes resilience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
