Your first step is to call us or book an appointment online. To schedule your initial appointment online, choose psychiatric evaluation service on this website. If you are a new patient, you will receive an email with a link to your client portal. Through your client portal, you will be expected to review and complete all intake assessments and policy documents. This must be completed 24 hrs prior, to confirm your appointment, otherwise your appointment will be cancelled.
If you call to book an appointment, you will be asked to provide some initial information over the telephone to help us evaluate if R&R Therapy Services is your best treatment option. You may then be scheduled for an initial evaluation session, which provides an opportunity for you to build rapport with the therapist and provide him/her with some background about yourself and the reasons you are seeking therapy. In addition, the intake therapist will be able to answer your questions regarding services, fees, confidentiality and what to expect in therapy.
We are interested in developing a collaborative relationship with you in which we try to decide together what kind of treatment would be best for you.
At the end of that first session, you will decide on a mutually agreeable time slot for your therapy sessions; typically, the patient and therapist will meet once a week or as needed, and each session will last approximately 45 minute to 60 minutes.

We cannot re-file it once it has been denied.
