How Does Wonder Years Work?
Wonder Years carries out a thorough evaluation for an hour on the first appointment to assess mental health conditions. It requires all caregivers and parents to be present at the initial evaluation, as it gives a full view of the challenges the patient is dealing with.
Copies of any prior psychiatric evaluations, such as discharge summaries obtained from previous care providers, recent medications, and neuropsychological tests are to be carried along for the first appointment. Following the examination, a full discussion of the various therapy options will be initiated to formulate the best treatment option.

You are advised to check with us about the provider you are seeking services from.
We provide documents with receipts and diagnostic codes to assist you in obtaining insurance payment for all the psychiatric treatments as an out-of-network physician. To ascertain the scope of coverage, it is important to give insurance firms a call in advance.
