What should a new client know about working with you?

I currently see patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) who need psychiatric interventions other than oral antidepressants to address their symptoms. In my practice, I work collaboratively with patients (and their providers) to regain their freedom from depression by utilizing intranasal esketamine (Spravato) or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

What is your typical process for working with clients?

An initial visit with me typically takes about 50-60 minutes. I gather information from you ( or records from your provider) to establish your diagnosis and recommend a suitable treatment plan. I do not provide therapy services, but if indicated during treatment planning, I'll refer you accordingly.
