Join us for a two-part series on Therapeutic Assessment with Dr. Raja David, who trained extensively with the creator of the Therapeutic Assessment model, Dr. Stephen Finn. Over the next two episodes, we’ll spend time on the background and theory of TA, what measures are typically included, how to bill for TA appointments, what a TA “report” looks like, and – in part 2 – an in-depth case study utilizing the TA approach. Enjoy!
