What is your typical process for working with clients?
People seek new psychiatric providers for a variety of reasons, but regardless of the impetus, the process can be challenging and anxiety-provoking. You should be congratulated for taking the steps to care for yourself properly!
If you chose to move forward with our practice, after requesting a new patient appointment, someone from our office will reach out to verify your insurance and/or payment information. You will receive several forms and consents. These must be completed prior to your appointment. Please note, we will not be able to move forward with the appointment without receiving this information in a timely manner. The information will help structure your comprehensive evaluation.
During our first meeting, we will discuss your psychiatric history and symptoms and other aspects of your life like your work, routines, diet, relationships, and physical activity. Short, validated self-assessments will be used to help track progress. If interested, personality assessment can be incorporated which may provide insight into patterns and issues helping to guide our path forward.
We will establish long- and short-term goals and build a holistic plan for achieving those goals which may include traditional psychiatric medication, supplements, and supportive wellness interventions/practices.
Typically, we will follow up in 2-4 weeks to assess progress and adjust and realign our path forward. As we gain better control of symptoms and you start to feel better, we will incorporate more lifestyle and behavioral interventions to maximize the benefits of treatment, support lasting change, and optimize wellness. Along the way, appointments will become less frequent, possibly every 3 or 6 months, depending on the type of treatment.
