This form helps me better understand you and/or your child’s needs prior to our first session.

Please feel free to skip any questions that do not apply or feel too personal to answer in writing; we can always discuss them together.

You can submit this form electronically (by typing your signature) or print it and sign by hand. Both methods have the same legal effect.
