After an initial phone intake with a Headstrong clinician, the client obtains a one-time, in-person, psychiatric evaluation in their home city. The client then begins therapy with a best-in-class trauma informed clinician in the client’s home city.
Utilizing individually tailored treatment modalities (see 2, How We Treat), the client and clinician begin to process the trauma.
The client begins to become asymptomatic and is able to get back to a better version of themselves.
