What to expect
When you call Alzheimer’s Family Center at 714-593-9630 for Alzheimer’s caregiver counseling, you will be connected to a licensed or supervised therapist who will provide you with a brief phone consultation, and will schedule you for an initial visit. At that time, you will have an opportunity to discuss your issues and concerns in a safe, secure environment. Together, you and your therapist will determine your goals for therapy.
Each session will last 45 minutes.
