Subsequent visits typically involve assessment of treatment effectiveness, supportive psychotherapy and evaluation of the treatment goals. As your provider, I will take every opportunity to listen to your personal story. At the end of each session, you will have a better understanding of the diagnosis and available treatment options. Together we can formulate a plan that works for you
