What To Expect…
As our patient, you can expect high quality, individualized care.
Initial Appointment
Your initial visit will be 60-90 minutes (dependent on individual needs). During your initial visit, an extensive physical and mental health history is obtained. Past and present mental health issues are further explored as well as any past and/or current treatments. Afterwards I will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan and assist you with your mental health goals. Your treatment plan can include possible medications (if appropriate), psychotherapy, and/or treatment that goes beyond including lifestyle changes and/or adequate coping skills.
Disclaimer: An initial evaluation does not guarantee a formal patient-provider arrangement or guarantee any form of treatment.
Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments typically last around 30-60 minutes (dependent on individual needs) and are tailored to your specific needs and/or goals. We will assess current symptoms, discuss medications that may or may not be working, and ensure for any adjustments in your treatment. My goal is to ensure that you are progressing towards your mental health goals. The frequency of your follow-up visits ultimately are determined by the severity of your symptoms and your progress. Depending on progress, follow-up visits can scheduled weekly, monthly, every 2 months, or every 3 months or sooner if warranted. Patients that are stable are generally seen every 3-6 months.
Treatment length varies and is dependent on the individual, their diagnosis, and their specific needs.
Disclaimer: A treatment plan may not be finalized during your initial visit. At times, multiple visits are required for a full evaluation to be completed, including an accurate working diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan to be formulated and mutually agreed upon. Records from previous providers or additional information may be needed.
