Dr. Crumlish's treatment approach is flexible and pragmatic, with a core belief that gaining insight into one's self and others will lead to desired behavioral changes and an overall sense of well-being.

Forms
Below are copies of forms that Dr. Crumlish uses in her practice. The first is a brief intake form, which allows Dr. Crumlish to gather some basic administrative and clinical information about you. If you have time then it is helpful, but certainly not mandatory, to fill this out before your first session. Copies will also be available in the waiting room. The second form is an Agreement for Services that spells out some of the expectations of the professional relationship, as well as the legal limits to confidentiality. You do not need to download this and print it out. Dr. Crumlish will have a copy ready for you. This electronic version is provided for your reference. You will also be provided with an addendum to your agreement during one of your initial sessions that will detail your provider's specific business policies.
