Start with the 360 Discovery Assessment

Before matching your child with a therapist, we begin with a 360 Discovery Assessment, a comprehensive 50-minute intake session designed to ensure your child receives the right care, right from the start.

What’s Included in the 360 Discovery Assessment?

  • A thorough understanding of your child’s emotional, social, and mental health history

  • Time with both the parent and the child (together and individually) to hear perspectives, identify goals, and surface any concerns

  • A personalized therapist recommendation based on your child’s needs, personality, and preferences

  • Optional follow-up support to guide your family in navigating care
