This was so helpful to review when working up to performing a biopsychosocial assessment on my own. Labeling certain techniques/rules you were following below as you were doing them was so helpful. One thing i did notice was you did a great job giving the open-ended question asking who raised her but then followed up with a heteronormative question asking where the father was. Mom could have been single and used a donor, could have had a female partner that walked out, rape related pregnancy, or even a platonic arrangement with someone that fell through. Might be less presumptive to think of a follow up question that doesn't just ask "where's dad." Struggling to think of what might encompass all of those answers though...
You are correct. It's important to keep in mind the different types of parents. Remember, before you sit with the client, the therapist should have read their intake paperwork. This will give you hints and the proper term to use in the intake interview as to who is the parent: (mom, dad, adoptive, foster, unknown, single, polycule, LGBTQ....). As a therapist, just make sure to use the term THEY wrote down not your own.
This is such a great video and very informative. I am wondering if there is an intake session template she may be using that I can also use? Or if there is any you would recommend? Thank you.
Notice that this is an intake session. Contrary to a therapy/counseling session, much effort is placed in getting to ask questions about (AT) the client's background, goals, etc. Therapy/counseling session is geared to be more exploratory (BY) the client.
Im glad you're not my therapist. You sound impatient. They most likely trauma dump becuse they have gone to therapy for the problems they are dumping about. They often dont know that a full session is taken up talking about all the things they are on here. They want, need help. Thats why they are there. Therapy is very expensive. So taking a full session for all this is expensive. This could be much better done by giving the client a questionnaire to fill out in there own time and bring back. But of course the therapist misses out on being paid for all this then.
@@sparrowbarnesmusic5864 Hmmm I understand that therapy is expensive, but I believe that doing a clinical interview will bring in more richer information than any questionnaire possibly could. After all, once all this information is obtained, the therapist can use this information to create a case formulation and provide individualised therapy.
@@sparrowbarnesmusic5864 Hello! One of the reasons many of the questions are not sent out before the intake session for the client to fill out before hand is because questions may be triggering. So, we ask them in person to stabilize and help the client first hand should distress arise.
@@sparrowbarnesmusic5864 Every place is different, some ask for the questionnaire to be filled out so that it can be gone over together in the first session. It takes the whole 1st session because that's how long it takes to do it, they aren't unnecessarily billing for it. As an intern, It's 100% necessary.

Great intake video Dr. Ortiz, very much needed! Please do a video on treatment planning
Cool! Let me know what questions you'd like answered in that video: drsharlaineortiz@gmail.com
This is such a great video and very informative. I am wondering if there is an intake session template she may be using that I can also use? Or if there is any you would recommend? Thank you.
Yes, I do have a template. Please email me and I’ll be glad to share it.
This is great. Do you happen to have a template that you utilize during intake sessions. If so, can you share it?
Hello! Please shoot me an email for template info! drsharlaineortiz@gmail.com
Hi! Did she ever email you the template? I emailed her a few days ago and haven't heard back.
Hi, I emailed you for the template a few days ago and never heard back. @@APhDTeachesYou
Thank you very much ❤
Nice video
Thanks :)
Ahhh nothing like talking AT the client that makes therapy appealing. As a client myself, it’s difficult to follow along and not tune the person out.

😅😅😅everything you say will be used against you,well I don't trust humans best everything to stay in🤐
Lol if only clients were this strait forward often times they’ll trauma dump on you and you have to pick all of this information out of it.
The struggle is real!
