SERVICES PROVIDED
The staff at LICCT specialize in the diagnosis and cognitive-behavioral treatment of many psychological disorders and life problems. What we do at LICCT can therefore be broken down into two related parts, diagnosis (psychological assessment), and treatment. Correct diagnosis at the beginning of treatment (intake) is extremely important in order to focus treatment, for patient understanding and collaboration, and for professionals to communicate accurately about patients. Ongoing assessment of a patient’s difficulties and functioning in response to treatment are also essential for treatment to work effectively. For patients (children and adults) with behavior problems, a detailed functional behavioral assessment (FBA) is essential to effective treatment.
