Our clinical interviews are always conducted by a licensed psychologist. This interview is designed to efficiently gather you or your child’s presenting concerns and historical information. If the assessment is being conducted with a minor, typically, the parents will be interviewed first and the child will be interviewed in a separate interview (in some cases older children will be interviewed prior to the parents). Common topics include current problems, symptom and medical history, previous treatments, academic history, and brief discussions about important life topics such as family, friends, and early childhood. Though this interview covers many topic areas, our clinicians will put you at ease and the conversation often results in a positive mindset.
