Psychiatric and Mental Health Visits
​
-
Psychiatric Mental Health Intake visit, 60 minutes: this is the comprehensive initial assessment of your symptoms, mental health history and individual background. At this visit, we will start to establish a diagnosis(s) and discuss options for symptom reducing medications. It is helpful to provide a list of all current medical and mental health medications and supplements. This is how we collaborate a care plan that is evidence-based and therapeutic.
​
-
Psychiatric Follow up: these visits provide time to monitor and evaluate your symptoms, assess the effectiveness of medication and tolerability, and consider the need for lab work, medication adjustments or further evaluation.
​
​
​
​
​
​
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an essential guide for regulating your negative thought patterns. We start with evidence-based tools to recognize why the way we talk to ourselves matters far more than we realize. Basically, it counsels individuals to effectively handle the current challenges that are immediately present. For past trauma related psychotherapy needs, I may encourage clients to also work with a psychologist or trained therapist.
