What to Expect When Starting Individual Counseling

1. Initial Consultation

To begin your individual counseling journey at ABA Therapies LLC, the first step is an initial consultation. This meeting allows our team to gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs, concerns, and goals. It is an opportunity for you to ask questions and become familiar with our approach and therapeutic techniques.

After the initial consultation, our experienced therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to evaluate your strengths, challenges, and areas requiring intervention. We use evidence-based practices and tailor treatment plans to meet your unique needs and goals. Our team works collaboratively with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that outlines the counseling strategies, objectives, and expected outcomes.

3. Sessions with Experienced Therapists

Your individual counseling sessions will be led by skilled and compassionate therapists who specialize in working with individuals with developmental and physical disabilities. Our therapists create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can openly express yourself and explore your thoughts and emotions.
