Psychiatric Evaluations
A psychiatric evaluation can be be completed on a consultative basis or as the initial intake appointment. We will meet in person for 75 minutes. A priority of this visit is to establish a trusting and therapeutic provider - client relationship. We discuss your emotional concerns and get to know who you are as a whole.
With this comprehensive approach, we formulate achievable treatment goals together and establish an appropriate timeline for follow up appointments.
Medication Management
Because every individual is unique, medication effectiveness may vary from person to person. Finding the right medication requires special attention, careful monitoring and ongoing discussion.
Once the necessity and appropriateness of medication has been established during a psychiatric evaluation or intake appointment, a schedule for medication management follow up appointments is developed based on your needs.
Medications may be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment such as counseling, behavioral therapies and life and social skills training.
