Intake Evaluation

This is an appointment for a new patient that has never been seen in my clinic. It's one of the longest appointments because there is a lot of background information I gather.

I will ask to speak with previous care providers or current providers if additional information is needed. Lab work may  be required.

​

If there is a good, therapeutic alliance and you wish to continue treatment with me, we will generate a treatment plan with your specific, personal goals.

Consultation

This is a one time visit with no plan for follow-up care. It can be a review of medications or diagnoses. Most often utilized as a second opinion on the current treatment.

Medication Management

This is any appointment after an initial evaluation that I use to monitor how you are feeling and progressing.

Medications will be reviewed, if prescribed.

Patients should anticipate being seen every 1, 2, or 3 months if medications are prescribed.

The maximum amount of time between appointments is 3 months for therapeutic monitoring.

Therapy

This is an integral part of all appointments and performed during medication management appointments.

​

Talking can help you manage with thoughts, behaviors, symptoms, stresses, goals and past experiences that can promote recovery.
