Your journey begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. During this 60-minute appointment, we'll take time to understand your full mental health history, your current symptoms, what's working, and what isn't.
Together, we'll set goals and lay the groundwork for a care plan that is individualized to you. You don't need to have everything figured out — just showing up is enough.
If medication is part of your care plan, you'll receive thoughtful, evidence-based prescribing and ongoing monitoring. Medication decisions are always collaborative — we discuss options, potential benefits, and side effects together so you can make informed choices.
Follow-up appointments allow us to assess how you're responding and make any needed adjustments.
Every appointment includes supportive therapeutic elements — not just prescription management. We'll work on understanding your patterns, building coping skills, and developing practical strategies for day-to-day life.
This is not traditional talk therapy, but it is far more than just a medication check.
