What should a new client know about working with you?
At Journey Psyche, we use a structured, low-friction onboarding process designed to help you get started quickly and clearly.
1. Clinical Discovery (Intake)
You will receive a secure digital intake form to complete before your visit. This allows us to understand your history, symptoms, and goals ahead of time so your appointment is focused and productive.
2. Psychiatric Evaluation (60 minutes)
Your first session is a comprehensive evaluation where we review your medical history, current symptoms, and any prior treatment experiences.
3. Treatment Roadmap
You will leave your first visit with a clear plan, which may include medication recommendations, a structured follow-up schedule, and coordination with your therapist if applicable.
4. Medication Support & Refill Coordination
Patients have access to a dedicated Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) who helps manage medication questions, refill coordination, and ongoing education. This ensures prescriptions stay consistent and patients are never left without support between visits.
Our goal is to provide clarity, direction, and a strong start from day one.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Typical Process for Working with Clients
* Collaborative Investigation: We move beyond surface symptoms to understand the history and "drivers" of your distress.
* Diagnostic Clarity (The Co-Evaluation): If you are already in therapy, Kelsey provides a "medical lens" to your care, syncing with your therapist to ensure your medication and talk-therapy goals are aligned.
* Function-First Treatment: We don't just target a diagnosis; we target your ability to work, relate, and function daily.
* Stability & Maintenance: Ongoing care focuses on maintaining your "baseline" with the lowest effective dose and consistent, scheduled follow-ups.
