Each patient and family must complete an intake form describing the context of concerns and basic health information. A telehealth visit is then arranged within 48 hours (about 2 days) to review the intake information and determine the appropriateness of further treatment within the mental health services afforded by our wellness center.
Patients completing an intake form play a crucial role in familiarizing the physician with a child's history and contextual challenges. This questionnaire encompasses a range of questions designed to gather comprehensive information about the child's medical history, developmental milestones, and current concerns. Parents or guardians are encouraged to provide detailed responses regarding the child's health, including any pre-existing conditions, allergies, family history, environmental or emotional stressors or past treatment, family dynamics, educational experiences, and any recent life events. By completing the intake form thoroughly, parents or guardians enable the physician to develop a more complete understanding of the child's background and challenges, a tremendous advantage to providing personalized and effective care.
The initial screening and telehealth visit is complimentary and serves as an effective introduction to the structure of our therapies and compatibility of communication styles.
