Best practices Philosophy

Eastview Counseling focuses on providing therapy using a �best practices� approach in regard to mental health care. Standards of care are provided through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) and other national organizations.

Confidentiality

The small office setting of Eastview is quiet, comfortable and private. It offers a personal, peaceful environment where patients can come to relax and feel safe without first sitting in a crowded waiting room. This setting facilitates a trusting environment.

Dr. Koop will address confidentiality concerns and explain privacy laws at the intake session. She will only discuss your case outside of therapy using the guidelines explained.

Offers coordination of care with others when needed.

Quality Patient Care

Eastview values, as a high priority, personal, individualized attention and specialized treatment. Dr. Koop appreciates and values each patient and fosters respect and care from the first contact through termination and aftercare.

Eastview believes that therapy is about working together with patients to discern how to best solve problems and promote growth in the patients� lives. Through this collaborative approach in treatment planning she strives to understand the patient�s perspectives and beliefs.
