The Counseling Process

Goal setting is a foundational component of Kathleen’s therapy process.

The first session also includes a comprehensive intake assessment, which covers medical history, mental health history, and personal development.

Standardized assessments such as PHQ-9, GAD, CAGE-10, or PCL-5 may be used to evaluate conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, or substance use. Together, Kathleen and her clients determine the most effective therapeutic interventions and establish a counseling schedule to support their journey.
