• Your first visit

  The first appointment for child and adolescent referrals is an initial assessment lasting 80 minutes, providing time to thoroughly understand your child's needs and concerns. In-person sessions are preferred for the initial appointment, depending on your circumstances, though telehealth may be available. This extended first session allows Dr Sally Carter to gather detailed information and begin building a collaborative relationship with your family. The assessment helps determine the best approach and therapy plan tailored to your child's unique situation. Following this appointment, the number and frequency of ongoing sessions will be discussed and reviewed collaboratively as therapy progresses.
