For those of you who have not visited a psychologist previously, you might feel a little nervous about attending your first session.
When you arrive at Parramatta Psychology Clinic for your first session, you will be required to complete a consent and intake form. The psychologist may also require you to complete some brief assessments.
During the first few therapy sessions the psychologist will be assessing your case on an individual basis to provide you with the most evidence-based solution.
