Based on this assessment, your therapist provides a tentative formulation, which is an initial understanding of why your issues have arisen and what might be contributing to them. This formulation helps in creating a tailored treatment plan specifically designed to address your needs.

Treatment is a collaborative process; your therapist works closely with you to agree on the most effective approach, using evidence-based interventions. These are techniques proven through research to be effective for various concerns. With a range of therapeutic methods at their disposal, your therapist will select the best approaches to support your progress and well-being.
