Jayson L. Mystkowski Practice Description
Initial Evaluation (1-2hrs): Clients meet for a 1 to 2-hour appointment. The first part of the evaluation consists of clients privately completing assessment questionnaires to learn more about their specific concerns. The second part is a face-to-face meeting (in-person or via telehealth) with a clinician to gather information about a client’s biopsychosocial history, provide an initial treatment plan, and answer any consumer-related questions about the therapy process. Individual Psychotherapy (45/50/60min): A standard, weekly therapy appointment, in which the length is determined by a client’s concerns and needs. Individual Psychotherapy (25min): A shorter, check-in or “booster” appointment for clients who do not require longer, weekly sessions.
