Presenting Problems
During the first therapy session, a client, their parents, and their therapist identify up to three problems that most interfere with the client’s mental health. Embark refers to these as master treatment plan (MTP) problems. They can include diagnoses, but often don’t. Sometimes, diagnoses are seen as symptoms of these core problem areas. At Embark, we want to treat the root cause of the issues, not just the symptoms.
In 2022, the most frequent primary MTP problem was depression, followed by anxiety. Other common MTP problems included dysregulated (poorly regulated) mood, trauma, and relational distress.
A visual display of the top 25 most common client MTP problems is below.
