Progress Note Scenario for Tamara Williams It is Monday at 11am. Tamara comes into the office to meet with you on her lunch break from work. You ask her how she is doing since you spoke with her on the phone a few days ago. She reports she is still worried but is feeling better. She states she is tired of her worrying being centered around money. You ask her if she has any thoughts about alternate ways of meeting her goal of getting her degree. She said that when she was initially looking at going back to school, before she met with the person at the community college, she also checked out a couple of universities in the area. The two of you wonder if the $900 that had to be paid back was tied to the community college or if she would need to pay that back to receive financial aid at any college/university setting. Tamara expresses some hesitation in finding out. Upon further exploration of this hesitation, she states she doesn't want to hear that she would have to pay money she doesn't have to go back to school anywhere. After utilizing Motivational Interviewing, Tamara decides she is going to call 2 different universities, one private and one state, to ask questions about financial aid specific to her. She states she wants to pay the $900 but needs to increase her income in order pay that money back. The two of you schedule a time to meet again in 3 weeks on a Monday at 11am, during her lunch time, to follow up regarding any information she has found and to review progress on additional goals in the treatment plan. Your total time meeting with Tamara today was 43 minutes.
