Yes. The purpose of the initial consultation is for Dr. Samra to obtain background information on difficulties clients are experiencing to determine if she is the most appropriate person to provide treatment. In cases where there is not an appropriate fit for services, Dr. Samra will provide appropriate alternate referrals. At the end of the initial consultation session, Dr. Samra will provide a summary of a recommended treatment plan, including the recommended type of therapeutic approach and recommended number and frequency of sessions.
