You don’t need to arrive with a diagnosis. Tell Greg what’s been bothering you – how long it’s been going on, what makes it better or worse, and how it’s affecting your day. He’ll take it from there.

A thorough initial assessment usually makes things much clearer. You’ll leave with a diagnosis, an honest picture of what it means, and a clear plan forward.
