After discussing your needs and goals for therapy with Marjorie, the first step in therapy is usually evaluation. At this point you’ll have some intake paperwork. Other records and evaluations will also be requested.

An evaluation session is usually between about an hour to two hours in duration, depending on the child. With this initial evaluation, you’ll have a report for your records, and Marjorie will connect you with any referrals. She will coordinate care with any other service providers.
