The Intake Process
What happens in the first session? The initial session is an opportunity for you and Dr. Veurink to get to know one another. The first step is to fill out some required paperwork. This will include a statement of informed consent which formalizes your agreement with him to proceed with treatment. Then Dr. Veurink will discuss with you your reason for making an appointment.
A main goal of the initial session is to set a tentative agenda for your treatment. Based upon what you share with him, Dr. Veurink will summarize what he believes are the problems that need to be addressed in the therapy. If you agree with his assessment, he will discuss with you the nature of the treatment that may be necessary to treat those problems. You and Dr. Veurink will establish some general goals for your treatment and Dr. Veurink will answer any pertinent questions you may have.
The frequency of your sessions and the cost of treatment will be addressed. If possible, a schedule of appointment times will also be established at this time. Please allow ninety minutes for this evaluation and be prepared to make an initial payment of two hundred dollars at the time of service.
