WHAT TO EXPECT WITH TREATMENT 
Upon meeting you, Christa will conduct an extensive interview so she can get familiar with your history and current condition.  She will provide a safe and accepting environment and all questions will be directly pertinent to your unique health situation. You will take part in an examination that is guided by your level of comfort.

After the examination, Christa will create an individualized plan of care and agree upon a set of goals.
