Experience change.
What to expect
1
Evaluation
Your first appointment will always be a one-hour psychiatric evaluation. We spend this time screening for common psychiatric conditions as well as any specific issues you'd like to explore. This is an information-gathering time where we try to learn as much about you and your needs as we can. We encourage you to share as much or as little with us as you feel comfortable. Some common conditions we screen for include, but are not limited to:
-
​Mood disorders
-
Anxiety disorders
-
Post-traumatic disorders
-
Attention disorders​

Treatment
The last 1/4th of your first visit is spent discussing what we see and the evidence-based options that can help with these problems. Our job is to educate you on the pros/cons of all the different options available so you can make the decision of what may work best for you. These treatments often include talk therapy, lifestyle modifications, getting labs or other tests done, and sometimes prescription medication.

Management
After your first visit a follow-up appointment will be scheduled. These can be anywhere from weekly to yearly based on many different factors and typically last 20-30 minutes. Between appointments you can message your provider anytime with any questions or issues that can't wait until your next appointment. Our goal is always to give you back as much function using the least amount of treatment or medication possible.
