Young Adult Intake Process

Interested in participating in our Young Adult Outpatient Program? Let’s get to know one another — and, together, we’ll ensure Helix is an ideal fit! Here’s what that looks like…

Client Intake & Assessments

Because our young adult outpatient program is bespoke, we want to know more about you, your background, and your expectations. Starting on the same page ensures a successful start to your journey toward success, resilience, and self-reliance.

Prior to officially starting our 14-week young adult outpatient program, you will attend two 90-minute intake sessions: the Intake Session and the Psychiatric Evaluation. Both of these (and the entirety of the program) take place in our convenient and comfortable offices located in McLean, Virginia.

    The initial intake session is an important first step. This determines if the Helix program is a good fit. If you and Helix agree, we will proceed to scheduling the Psychiatric Evaluation.

    You will meet with Dr. Sakran. This intake helps us understand your mental health and psychiatric care needs and will guide our recommendations for the best treatment and, if necessary, medication management.

What’s Next?

Once intake assessments are completed, the clinical team meets internally to build the customized foundation for our continued work together. The result is 14 weeks of tailored, life-changing clinical outpatient care to help you embrace — and enjoy — adulthood! Ready to get started?
