We understand that, identifying a Mental Health provider and/or professional(s) can be an overwhelming and confusing task. Our overall goal is to help you identify what is going to work best for you and/or your family.  

You need to feel 100% comfortable with who YOU choose as your provider---finding the right provider  is important to establishing a therapeutic rapport and ensuring that you are going to receive the best service. Remember that your service provider works for YOU!

The following list provides some basic questions that you may want to ask a Service Provider, Qualified Professional and/or other Clinician when trying to identify a Service Provider. 

Ask potential providers:about their level of education, training, licensure (if applicable), years of experience, memberships of and/or any professional associations, and, whether they specialize in certain disorders or age groups? For example, some providers only provide Child & Adolescent services;some may specialize in eating disorders.

Do the clinicians that will be working with you and/or your child have specific training in an evidenced based model (if so-when, where, by whom and for how long)?

Does the individual clinician participate in ongoing clinical supervision/does the service provider agency provide ongoing clinical supervision, including how models of fidelity are monitored?
Which evidenced-based approach(es) do the clinicians or the service provider agency use when providing services?

How are cultural competency and any additional special needs issues addressed?

Do they offer assistance and/or services for people with limited english proficiency?
