Getting Started

The nature of therapy varies depending upon the concerns you would like to address.  The initial visit is an opportunity to not only discuss your concerns, but also explore your particular needs and objectives.  In addition, it provides a chance for both the therapist and patient to assess whether they can work together well.

Please note: Insurance companies require the designation of a clinical diagnosis. This information becomes a part of insurance companies' data banks. Dr. DeSole cannot control what is done with this information. In addition, insurance companies may request additional information regarding symptoms, compliance, progress updates, expected outcomes and anticipated length of treatment, via forms, e.g., an Outpatient Treatment Form, or telephone interviews. As a result, individuals may choose to opt out of using their insurance for payment.
