Therapy
Brandeis Counseling Center offers individual therapy both in-person and via telehealth. The first step to connecting to care is scheduling a 15-20-minute initial consultation. During the consult, a BCC therapist will gather information about your concerns, review resource options, and work with you to determine which services align with your goals, preferences, and treatment needs.
For your convenience, Initial Consultation appointments (first time appointment) can be scheduled on-line via the Secure Patient Portal. You can also call 781-736-3730 to reach the front desk.
In therapy appointments you will work one-on-one with a trained mental health clinician in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. Therapy is personalized to suit an individual's unique needs.
First Time Appointment (Initial Consult)
The first appointment is where you and the therapist work together to gather information to establish a foundation for treatment. The assessment is a time to build rapport, understand the reasons for seeking therapy, and identify areas to focus on in future sessions.Individual Therapy
Individual therapy appointments are scheduled after your Initial Consult. In this visit, you will meet with your assigned counselor, who together with your input will help to determine the best treatment recommendations for you.
