These are typically done when a client has a very specific short-term concern or question. Consultations last anywhere from 1-2 sessions. Consultations do not represent a treatment relationship, but rather a professional service where by the psychologist will provide the appropriate information, recommendations, and referrals needed to address the individual’s questions/concerns. Clinical Consultations examples include questions related to the level of care someone may need, type of therapy to best address a particular concern, referrals in finding the appropriate professionals and care, or a specific question that does not need ongoing therapy.
