Getting Started in Therapy: Meeting with a Psychologist
If you are interested in psychotherapy, please email
or call Ware Wellness Group to schedule an initial consultation at no
charge with one of the psychologists. Dr. Ware and Dr. Liss offer this opportunity because they feel it is
important to meet in person to determine whether you will be
comfortable working with one of the psychologists. This initial consultation also
allows the psychologist to begin to assess your difficulties and discuss
treatment options with you. If you are unsure whether to schedule
this initial appointment, you may request a brief telephone
conversation. While you are welcome to email a brief narrative
describing your situation, please keep in mind that it is impossible to
fully understand a situation via email (emergency situations should
not be addressed via email or voice mail).
During the initial consultation, you will receive information about Ware Wellness Group, the experience of the
psychologist in the area(s) that you would like to address, and a
personal history
questionnaire (to be completed before your first therapy session).
This questionnaire will provide your psychologist with a
concise
understanding of your background and an overview of the issues you wish
to address in therapy; this information will allow your psychologist to
assist
you more quickly in obtaining benefit from therapy.
It is important
that you feel comfortable with any therapist or psychologist that you
choose since you must be able to open up with that psychologist about
your thoughts and feelings. For that reason, if you feel that Dr. Ware or Dr. Liss
is not the right psychologist for you after the initial consultation,
she may make recommendations for other psychologists or therapists based on the
information you provided during the initial consultation. Equally
important in selecting a psychologist is assessing the psychologist's
training and experience. Licensed psychologists, such as Dr.
Ware and Dr. Liss, have completed doctoral degrees at accredited institutions,
completed accredited internship programs (approximately 2,000 hours), completed at least one year of full-time
post doctoral supervised experience by a licensed psychologist (an additional 2,000 hours), and
passed both written and oral state and national examinations
administered by the Texas State Board of Examiners of
Psychologists. Such rigorous credentialing processes for
psychologists are important, as are continuing educational experiences
and training after licensure. Be certain to investigate the
credentials, experience, and participation in the professional
community of any
psychologist or therapist you are considering. You should
also investigate whether the psychologist or therapist has ever been
reprimanded by the licensing board.
Licensed psychologists are required to follow rules and
procedures to make certain clients are treated ethically and licensed mental
health professionals may be sanctioned if a client files a complaint or
the licensing board otherwise becomes aware of a lapse in adherence to
professional standards. Both Dr. Ware and Dr. Liss are
licensed psychologists, practicing in Dallas, Texas, for over 12
years.
