Getting Started
1.
Intake phone call
A
15-20 minute phone call scheduled at no charge with an Affinity Center
therapist to review the client's questions and to determine if a consultation
appointment may be helpful.
2.
Clinical Consultation
A
75 minute session with an Affinity Center therapist as the beginning
of the diagnostic process with a focus on determining the most helpful
next step; i.e.: Is a comprehensive evaluation indicated? Would treatment
likely benefit the individual?
3.
Comprehensive Team Evaluation
If
an evaluation is recommended after the consultation appointment, an
evaluation plan is developed with the Affinity Center therapist to individualize
the evaluation. Components of the
evaluation may include psychological testing, educational testing, speech and language assessment, a comprehensive
health review, and a session with one of the Affinity Center Physicians. Following the assessment, the Affinity
team collaborates to review the diagnostic information, impressions and treatment
recommendations, which are then shared with the client in a treatment planning session.

supervised dose trials over several days to quickly achieve
the optimal

Satisfaction
You can
call the Affinity Center at (513) 984-1000 to discuss with our staff
if we are best suited to meet your needs. Referrals may also come from
a primary care physician, another professional health care provider
or an insurance authorization coordinator.
We
would like to hear from you and want to spend some time on the phone
with every client before any evaluation or treatment begins. We are
very open and specific about our services including the cost. Clients
will receive all the information they need to make an informed decision
about coming to The Affinity Center.
We
know cost is always an important concern. Insurance may reimburse clients
for some of what we do, but we planned the Center with the self-paying
consumer in mind. Our services are designed to be cost-effective.
The
Affinity Center encourages ongoing care with primary care physicians
and other complimentary therapeutic modalities. We are a specialty clinic
and, as such, we expect to work closely with referring professionals,
as well as other important individuals in the client's life.
