Frequently asked Questions

​

​1. Do you offer Weeekend and late evening appointments for therapy?

Unfortunately not. Dr. Shital's availability for therapy appointments is limited and mostly during the school hours. There are very few late evening appointments that she reserves for older elementary school/early middle school children. She provides school excuse notes for absences/early withdrawals from school.

2. ​How long are your waiting lists?

Depending on the time of the year, We are usually booked 1-2 months out. Dr. Shital believes in early intervention and thinks that you need to get services as soon as you can. If she is booked out, she will usually provide options for other psychologists in her network. 

3. I am concerned about my child's development. Am I too early to seek help from a psychologist? Am I an anxious parent. How do I know where to start?

If you are concerned about your child's issues and are not sure about seeking services, please do no hesitate to call Dr. Shital for an initial phone consult (free for ~ 15 minutes) to discuss how Dr. Shital could help you. Dr. Shital is also a parent and understands if you are new to this and would like help on navigating services. 

4. Who completes the evaluation? Do you have an assistant who does the testing? 

I believe in relationship building with the family from the get go. Not only do I do the evaluation witb your child, you will also find me answering your phone calls as well as setting up appointments for you. The only aspect that I outsource is billing. Otherwise I am involved with you and your child from start to the end.
