10-15 Minute Free Skype Consultation
If you are considering whether or not OCD treatment services are what you or your loved one need, having a free, 10-15 minute consultation might be the exact thing to help determine your next steps. These calls take place via phone or online and are an opportunity to learn more about how to be on your way toward OCD wellness.
45-Minute Consultation
During the in-person consultation, the therapist will obtain a general overview of your presenting concerns and also provide you with more details about how treatment works. You can also use the consultation time to ask the therapist questions. It is not uncommon for family members to schedule consults for themselves or for their loved one that is suffering with OCD. When scheduling a consult on your loved one’s behalf, please keep in mind that treatment is most effective when your loved one is motivated toward treatment. In some cases, when a prospective client is reluctant, having a 45-minute consultation can help reinforce how treatment can be beneficial and provide a glimmer of hope. Family members sometimes also opt to have consultations to determine whether receiving consistent support from an OCD therapist would be useful for helping them navigate the challenging dynamics that their loved one’s OCD can bring to the relationship.
Assessments
After clients complete their consultation, one criterion for beginning treatment is receiving a comprehensive assessment. The assessment usually takes approximately two sessions. The assessments are thorough and provide information on whether a client has any comorbidities. Being aware of dual diagnoses allows the therapist and client determine if OCD treatment is appropriate and how to address other diagnoses once OCD treatment is underway.
