How SR Psychological Services Supports You
From your first contact through ongoing care, our process is designed to be clinically grounded, transparent, and centered on your individual needs.
Free 15-Minute Consultation
Contact our office by phone or through our website. Speak with our team, ask any questions you have, and determine whether SR Psychological Services feels like the right fit before committing to a session. There is no cost for this initial call.
Initial Screening
Dr. Shatiece Riley, our founder and licensed psychologist, conducts a structured intake session. This is a supportive, conversational process — not a clinical evaluation in the traditional sense. It helps us understand your background, current concerns, and what you are hoping to work toward in therapy.
Therapist Matching
Based on your intake, Dr. Riley personally matches you with the licensed clinician whose expertise, clinical background, and approach are well aligned with your needs. We practice only within our established areas of clinical competence. This supports a strong therapeutic alliance and appropriate care from your very first session.
Individualized Treatment Plan
You and your therapist work together to build a personalized treatment plan. Informed by evidence-based practices and your stated goals, this plan is designed to evolve as your needs and circumstances change over the course of care.
Ongoing Individual Therapy Sessions
Most clients begin with weekly in-person individual therapy sessions in NYC lasting 45 to 50 minutes. Secure telehealth sessions are available for those in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Your therapist monitors your progress over time and adjusts session frequency and clinical focus as your care develops. The pace of therapy is guided by your goals and needs.
Progress Review
Your therapist regularly revisits your therapeutic goals to assess progress and refine your care plan where appropriate. Individual therapy at SR Psychological Services is responsive and adaptive — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Therapeutic Approaches Used in Your Sessions
Our licensed clinicians draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities. The approach — or combination of approaches — used in your sessions is determined by your specific clinical needs, goals, and preferences. All methods used at our practice are grounded in current clinical evidence and adapted to the individual.
