This is a quick, no-pressure phone call (about 10–15 minutes) to see if we might be a good fit. We’ll chat about what you’re looking for, I’ll share a bit about how I work, and you can ask any questions you have. It’s not a clinical visit—just a chance to connect and decide if moving forward makes sense.

An initial psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive appointment where we explore your mental health history, current concerns, medical background, and goals for treatment. It typically lasts about 60 minutes and includes time to discuss symptoms, life stressors, past treatments, and any questions you may have. This helps us create a personalized plan that fits your needs, whether that involves medication, therapy, or both.

In follow-up sessions, we’ll check in on how you’ve been doing, how any medications are working, and talk through anything that’s been on your mind. These visits include a mix of medication management and brief talk therapy—space to explore stress, patterns, or challenges, and make sure your treatment stays on track and feels right for you.

These shorter visits focus on how your medication is working and whether any adjustments are needed. We’ll check in on symptoms, side effects, and your overall progress. It’s a time to make sure your treatment plan is still the right fit and to answer any questions you have about your meds.
