Mental Health Screenings
Are you not sure of the symptoms you are noticing? You may choose to complete a screening tool prior to your first appt. The screening tools do not replace a clinical diagnosis, but may assist you in starting a dialog with your counselor about the symptoms you have noticed. Screeners are also available to include an educational component regarding alcohol and marijuana usage. All of our screeners are confidential.
