About Your First Visit

Here is what you need to know about your first visit:

• Child Assessments (under the age of 18) - at least one parent/guardian must attend and stay for the entire visit.  For the first 15-30 minutes, Dr. King will conduct an intake session to discuss your child's perceived areas of strengths and weaknesses, and she'll answer any questions about your child's assessment and what to expect during testing.   The IQ test will be administered to your child following the intake session (lasts up to two hours), while parent(s) must wait in the waiting area and complete the necessary paperwork.   For learning disability (LD) assessments, the IQ test will be administered to your child following the intake session, and the cognitive/achievement testing (up to two hours) will be scheduled on a separate day to prevent test burnout.  Note: Dr. King does not offer child therapy services.

• Adult Assessments (over the age of 18) - for the first 15-30 minutes, Dr. King will conduct an intake session to discuss your perceived areas of strengths and weaknesses, and she'll answer any questions about your assessment and what to expect during testing.   The IQ test will be administered following the intake session (lasts up to two hours).  For learning disability (LD) assessments, the IQ test will be administered to you following the intake session, and the cognitive/achievement testing (up to two hours) will be scheduled on a separate day to prevent test burnout. 

• Adult Therapy (over the age of 18) - at your first appointment, Dr. King will conduct an intake session to discuss the issues you'd like to address and your goals for therapy.
