The Process
STEP 1 - Free 15 min Phone Call
During this call, we'll assess our compatibility for working together. You'll share your reasons for seeking care and preferences for treatment or support. I'll explain my approach and address any questions you have. If you decide to proceed, we'll schedule your initial consultation.
STEP 2 - Complete Intake Forms
You'll receive forms for our initial consultation, covering lifestyle, medical history, goals, and symptoms. Your responses are reviewed beforehand to ensure a productive first appointment. Additionally, the online patient portal enables secure messaging, document sharing, refill requests, and appointment scheduling.
STEP 3 - Initial Consultation Appointment
Our first appointment will last 90 minutes, which is longer than typical psychiatry offices where initial visits are usually 30-60 minutes. This extended time allows you to fully share your story and provide crucial details about how your symptoms impact your life. I'll ask questions to uncover the root issues, understand you better, and screen for specific conditions. Together, we'll establish goals and identify areas for intervention. By the end of the visit, you'll have a tailored action plan that may include lab work, symptom tracking, lifestyle adjustments, additional screenings, and initial treatment recommendations.
STEP 3 - Labs and Information Gathering
After completing any recommended lab work, I'll review the results to help pinpoint the root causes of your symptoms. If you've seen a psychiatrist or psychotherapist before, I'll reach out to them for a comprehensive history. Any additional screening forms provided after our initial visit will also be reviewed.
STEP 5 - Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments can be either 25 or 50 minutes, based on your support needs, situation complexity, and whether psychotherapy is involved. These visits are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially, then every 1-3 months for long-term patients, though this may vary based on your support preferences and symptom severity. During appointments, we'll review your progress, address concerns about your treatment plan, and make necessary adjustments. Throughout your care, we'll continuously refine your treatment plan to achieve the best results efficiently.
