| Evaluations Child/Adolescent evaluations consist of three 45-minute meetings; the first one typically with the parent(s) to obtain a history. The next two meetings usually are alone with the child or adolescent to gain a better understanding of the needs that may be beneficially addressed through psychotherapy or medication. The evaluation also may include speaking with other health care providers or school personnel. At the third visit Dr. Howell will provide a diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Adult evaluations usually take 2 hours. After the evaluation is completed, I will provide specific treatment recommendations for your consideration. These may include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of the two. |
