This complimentary 15 minute phone consultation is an opportunity to briefly connect with the provider before scheduling a full 60 minute psychiatric evaluation. During this call, we will discuss your primary concerns, review the type of services offered, and determine whether this practice is a good fit for your needs. No diagnosis, treatment, or medication recommendations are made during this call. If appropriate, next steps, including scheduling a comprehensive 1 hour evaluation, will be reviewed.
The initial consultation is an assessment of your current symptoms, past medical and mental health history, and life circumstances. At the end of this appointment, you will have a comprehensive treatment plan which may include lifestyle modifications, talk therapy, and/or medications.
Psychotherapy is a powerful treatment for a range of psychiatric complaints that offers benefits of improved interpersonal relationships, stress reduction, and a deeper insight into one’s own life, values, goals, and development.
Follow-up visits include review of progress, possible adjustments to medications or supplements if needed, engagement in psychotherapeutic strategies, and continued collaboration to ensure wellness goals are being met.
