When you arrive at our office, you will be greeted by a member of our administrative staff. There is paperwork for new clients to complete prior to your appointment so we ask that therapy and neuropsychology clients arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. New medication and psychiatry clients also have paperwork that must be completed before the scheduled appointment which can take up to 30 minutes, so please plan your arrival accordingly.
