Psychiatric Evaluation
The initial appointment will be used to explore your history, symptoms, and goals. I aim to be comprehensive to allow the opportunity to best understand you. In some cases, additional evaluation appointments may be necessary.
Medication Management
Medication management includes helping you make an informed decision about your treatment options, which may include initiating, continuing, or discontinuing medications. If medications are prescribed, follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor effects, both positive and negative. I provide extensive education about medications as I believe that individuals should be empowered in their decisions.
Supportive Psychotherapy
I will often integrate psychotherapy into our appointments. This psychotherapy includes motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychoeducation.
Of note, I do not conduct psychiatric evaluations for purposes other than mental health treatment.
Since my practice is small, I do not have the ability to provide care for individuals needing frequent contact between sessions, after-hours support, or 24/7 treatment. Clinics equipped for more intensive support would be a more appropriate fit.
