We monitor client progress, adequately assess symptoms, and only claim to specialize in a presenting problem or treatment approach if we are truly competent and adequately trained. If we do not feel we can provide appropriate care, we will work with our clients to identify the best treatment provider or level of care for their needs to increase the chances of resolution of symptoms/problems. |
