1
Initial Consultation
Parents can engage in an up to 90-minute initial consultation, conducted via Telehealth, to discuss their current concerns or child's needs. An initial consultation typically serves as an opportunity for parents to share relevant information about their child's development, behaviour, and any challenges they may be facing, enabling the psychologist to gain insights into the family dynamics and develop a tailored plan for assessment and/or intervention.
