    Assessment

    You are dealing with a complicated, painful situation; any decision you make will involve initial loss. We are here to enter your world, understand your story, and bring solutions. Assessments are 60-90 minutes in length with the following goals: 1) Listen well to understand the nature, scope, and urgency of your situation or crisis. 2) Discover the internal and external resources of the person making self-destructive choices and their motivation. 3) Determine clear goals and next steps.
