Payment Information:
The Brooklyn Family Therapy Center is contracted out of medical aids. This means that payment is required directly by the client. Invoices are issued weekly, and clients may submit these invoices to their medical aid for possible reimbursement, depending on their plan.
Children up to 3 years:
During the first session, a screening will be done with the child. Please note that this is not an in dept assessment and that no report will be written. The child’s attachment, experience of playgroup/pre-school, emotional development and energy level will be assessed. A follow-up parental guidance/feedback session must be made, where recommendations regarding follow-up therapeutic intervention and future planning will be made. Clients can make an appointment with the relevant therapist based on time availability and therapeutic needs. The intake form must be completed and signed by both parents before an appointment can be made.
Children age 3 to 12 years:
We love to start with the child on a clean slate! We do not require any information about the child before the session, as objectivity is very important to us. During the first session, a screening of the child’s emotional language, level of energy, attachment, socialization skills and school experience will be done through play. Please note that this is not a socio-emotional assessment and no reports will be written. A follow-up parental guidance/feedback session must be made on a different day as the intake session. Recommendations regarding follow-up therapeutic intervention and future planning will be made with the parents. The intake form must be completed and signed by both parents before an appointment can be made.
Tweens and teens:
Working work with tweens, teens and young adults, the therapist will see the child separate from the parent/s for the first session. A follow-up parental guidance and feedback session can be booked with the therapist as soon as possible after the client’s first session. Intake form needs to be signed by both parents.
Supervision:
Inanda Bosman provides supervision (online or in person) to social workers/counsellors working with children. Please contact us for more information.
