What to expect
All behavioral health journeys at Central begin with a comprehensive assessment, which takes place either in person or virtually. The person being seen is encouraged to have an open, honest discussion with one of our clinicians to make sure they’re directed to the right care. Once the clinician confirms that outpatient therapy is the best option for that individual, a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and goals is developed.
