Your voice at the heart of care.

No. There is no fee for you (the client) to participate.

Assessments are a tool used to support your treatment and are selected by your provider to help guide treatment. They are not designed to be a barrier to you receiving care.

You provider may ask you to complete brief questionnaires or measures at certain points during treatment to help better understand how you’re feeling and how things are changing over time. These assessments provide helpful insight that can guide sessions and support more personalized, informed care.

Your provider will work with you to determine an assessment cadence and frequency that best supports your care. If there is a reason why you can’t complete assessments, discuss them with your provider! There are many different methods to gathering these insights and your provider should work with your to identify a solution that fits.

Your provider will determine a frequency to assign measures that best supports your care. Clients are often asked to complete brief measures before sessions or at regular intervals during treatment so progress can be tracked over time. During ongoing care, your provider may choose to increase or decrease the frequency of measures based on how your treatment is progressing.

If you’re having trouble keeping up with your assessment schedule or if you’d like to complete measures more often, let your provider know and they can work with you to adjust the frequency that is more aligned with your needs.

If you forget to complete an assessment the day it is sent, you will receive a reminder a couple of days later. You can always return to your most recent notification link to complete the latest assessment sent to you. Missing an assessment will not prevent you from receiving care, so if you happen to miss one, you can simply complete the next.

Completing assessment regularly helps your provider better understand how you are doing, track changes over time, and guide the conversation during sessions, so it’s worth staying on schedule to support your care process. It’ll also help you better understand how you are feeling throughout care and raise awareness to presenting symptoms and issues.

Your assessment results help your provider understand how you’re feeling and how your symptoms or wellbeing may be changing over time. This information helps guide conversations during sessions and can support decisions about your treatment plan.

For example, your provider may review trends in your responses to see whether certain symptoms are improving, staying the same, or becoming more challenging. This can help both of you determine whether the current approach is working or if adjustments might be helpful. If they notice changes in a certain symptom, they may ask questions to understand why that change may be happening or if anything from your week has impacted it positively or negatively.

Assessment results are just one part of your care and are always considered alongside your experiences, goals, and discussions with your provider.

Your provider may choose to give you access to your own account within Greenspace where you can log in to view your completed assessments and progress over time.

Within your client dashboard, you may see visual summaries of your results that show how your responses have changed across different points in treatment. These tools are designed to help you better understand your progress and support conversations with your provider.

If your provider hasn’t given you access to Greenspace, you can ask them to share a summary or overview of your results with you during sessions, so you can visualize your progress.

Your provider will review your assessment results with you during sessions so you can discuss how things are going and reflect on any changes you’re experiencing.

In some cases, you may also be able to view your results directly in your client dashboard by logging in to your Greenspace account. This can help you see patterns in your responses and track your progress throughout treatment.

Yes. Assessments can be completed outside of sessions via email or SMS, through your phone, tablet, or computer, so you can complete them at a time and place that is convenient for you.

Most assessments only take a few minutes to complete. Completing assessments ahead of your session can help make your time with your provider more focused and productive, as you’ll already have information to discuss about how you’ve been feeling.

You don’t need to prepare in any special way. Assessments are designed to be simple and quick, and they ask about how you’ve been feeling recently.

The most helpful approach is to answer each question honestly based on your own experience. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers; your responses simply help you and your provider understand what you’re going through.

If any question feels unclear or difficult to answer, you can always discuss it with your provider during your next session.

That’s exactly what MBC is for! Bring it up with your therapist and you can work together to understand your symptoms. If you’re struggling with sleep or social anxiety, for example, your data will show that and can help you work with your provider to adjust your treatment plan to address it.

For the same reason that it matters in physical health care! Imagine living with diabetes without a glucose meter to monitor your blood sugar levels. Not only can your doctor use that information to diagnose you and determine the appropriate course of treatment, but you have the ability to monitor your own glucose levels at home and manage your symptoms.

Adding data into mental health treatment serves the same purpose. You can use it as a tool to better communicate your symptoms and both you and your provider will be able to understand your progress and have extra insight into what you need to feel better.

Therapeutic alliance is all about the relationship that you form with your therapist! It’s about how strongly you feel they understand you and your needs, how you engage with one another, and how strong of a bond you develop together.

This relationship is so important because of the nature of the information you’re sharing with your therapist. The more you connect with your therapist and trust them, the more you can be open with them, allowing you to learn and grow from your sessions. If you are not able to be open with your therapist, this may mean that you do not have a strong therapeutic alliance and they may not be the best fit for you.

Since MBC is a process that is done in partnership with a licensed mental health professional, you do need a therapist to use Greenspace.

If you are not currently in care, consider asking your next provider if they take an MBC approach to care.
