It feels pretty crappy constantly switching from one therapist to another. It feels even worse not knowing whether or not you’re actually receiving quality treatment. At RiverWise, we will put an end to this. When beginning treatment, I will show you the roadmap that will allow us to achieve your goals together. I will orient you to the specific interventions we will utilize and I will clearly explain what tools we will be using that allow us to track progress in your therapy.
