Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Clinical Psychology care with Dr. Kluge:
- What is the main difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?

- What happens in a first therapy session?
- The first session is an intake to learn about your concerns, history, and goals. It's also a chance to connect and see if Dr. Kluge is a good fit for you. This initial meeting is a two-way conversation, not an interrogation.
- What is psychological testing used for?
- Psychological testing uses a series of standardized tests and interviews to gain a deeper understanding of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. This assessment can clarify complex diagnoses, identify conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, or autism spectrum disorder, and inform treatment planning.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
