Intake, Assessment & Treatment Planning:
People don't live in a vacuum; we live in society, and most of us are part of some sort of family system. Like who you are and what happens to you, family dynamics play a role in mental wellness. There are many ideas about how to evaluate families and psychological disorders. One of those approaches is called the Family Systems Model.
Watch the video below to learn how The Vine utilizes this model to efficiently assess the whole client's system within the "Assessment of Services"; whether the client be a child, teen, adult, couple or family.

Assessment of Services FAQs
What is an Assessment of Services?
Every parent that calls to schedule their child for counseling will first schedule an Assessment of Services with either co-owners, Annie or Celeste or Supervisor, Brittany (if the child will be seen in Spring Branch). This initial assessment utilizes the concepts of the Family Systems Model to evaluate the child's entire system and so we can understand the needs of the child holistically in order to create an effective treatment plan.
How long is the Assessment of Services appointment?
The Assessment is scheduled for 1.5 hours to effectively evaluate the family system and create a specialized treatment plan for your child/family.
Who is required to be present at the Assessment of Services?
Both parents, whether married, unmarried, divorced or separated, are required to be at the assessment of services appointment and any additional parent sessions that may be suggested as part of the child's treatment plan. There will be no exceptions.
Who will my child's counselor be?
At conclusion of the Assessment with either, Annie, Celeste or Brittany, a counselor will be chosen for your child based on location of office, specialties of the counselor and availability. Each counselor has their own therapeutic approach that they use in counseling sessions with their clients. Visit MEET US page to learn more about each counselor's unique approach to wellness.
