My goals for you Goal setting is important, Dr. Juarez likes to work collaboratively with patients in order to develop goals and tailor them to each patient's unique needs. Goals are usually identified and defined within the first two sessions. My first session with you Clients should expect that the first session is administrative and assessment. Therapy does not begin in the first meeting. The provider is required to complete an assessment and determine if telehealth is appropriate for the client's needs. There is a review of policies such as no-show/late cancel, confidentiality, and limits of confidentiality such as mandated reporting laws.
