This complimentary 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. Duration ranges from 5-15 minutes
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.
