Our Process
What To Expect When You Contact Us:
Thank you for your inquiry into services offered by Drummond Psychological Services. Psychological assessment and psychotherapy are collaborative processes. Our approach will be tailored to each patient based on their unique needs. Our task is to listen carefully to understand your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and goals. Our first task is to assess what approach would be most useful to/for you and if we are the right service provider for you. We will do this by asking questions and possibly having you complete questionnaires or psychological tests.
We will then explain what we can do for you, and what time frame you can expect for the duration of treatment or assessment.
Please tell us what you would like to achieve through the therapeutic process. We will then co-construct a path toward healing and thriving. Note that you have the right to work at your own pace.
How The process works In A Nutshell:
- Initial Call: Potential clients have the option to schedule a 10–15-minute call with an admin staff, social worker or psychologist. Our first task is to assess if we are the right service provider for you and what approach would be most useful for you. We will explain what we can do for you.
- Choosing a Psychologist/Therapist: A determination will be made about which therapist/psychologist is a good fit based on factors such as: age, presenting issues, insurance requirements, and availability.
- Arrange a First Appointment: Coordinate a date and time for the initial session.
- Intake: Clients complete consent and intake questionnaires. We will ask questions and have you complete various screening questionnaires.
- First Appointment: Please tell us what you would like to achieve.
- Payment: The client will be paying for services directly. Unless otherwise specified, clients are expected to pay for their sessions following each visit. Credit card and e-transfer are accepted methods of payment.
- Progess: We will continually assess your progress throughout the treatment process.
