Therapy

*** Dr. Ralph is currently only accepting new clients for testing and evaluations. She cannot take on new clients for therapy at this time. *** 

Through therapy, you can gain a better understanding of the issues and learn healthy ways to resolve problems effectively.

Intake Process

A consultation session will be scheduled with Dr. Ralph to gather more detailed information about you or your child and areas of concern. This appointment will last about 1 to 1 ½ hours. Dr. Ralph will offer treatment options based on information gathered from the interview. These options may include therapy, psychological testing, or referrals to other providers in the area better equipped to meet your needs.

What to expect during therapy

If Dr. Ralph seems like a good match for you, you will then schedule your first therapy session. After talking about the changes you would like to see in yourself or your child, Dr. Ralph will work with you to create a treatment plan. The treatment plan will guide the therapy process and keep treatment focused on bringing about important changes.

It is important for you to attend sessions regularly to get the most out of therapy. Therapy sessions typically last 45 minutes.  Dr. Ralph will often design tasks for you to carry out between sessions to get the most out of therapy.
