What to Expect

During your session, Dr. Fearing-Afflick will keep track of the discussion, treatment goals and progress. In doing so, she may invite you to complete a questionnaire that helps to understand the presenting concern(s) further. When questionnaires are completed, you will receive a brief written summary of the results.
Payment of sessions are expected at the end of each session by e-money transfer and/or insurance billing.
