The woman behind the desk is smiling and has short dark hair, wearing glasses and a blue floral top. The office space has a beige wall with a framed picture and a wooden bookshelf with framed photos and decorative items. A monitor, keyboard, and some papers are on the desk. There is a decorative sign on the wall reading 'love more, worry less.'

Step 2. Initial Appointment

A Comprehensive Psychological Evaluation

In our first session we will meet for 60-90 minutes. We will spend time getting to know each other with the focus being on building a trusting patient-practitioner relationship. I desire to know you as a person and not “just your symptoms”.

A comprehensive psychiatric assessment seeks to review what you are experiencing and begin to establish a route for treatment.

During this time it may be appropriate to complete additional evaluation forms and screenings.

Step 3. Follow-up

Appointments

After your initial appointment we will determine a follow-up schedule.

Depending on the circumstances, clients are generally seen every 1-4 weeks either in person or by video.

Appointment types offered: medication follow-up, therapy, or a medication and therapy combination. Therapy appointments tailored to your specific needs with a combination of therapy techniques used such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness.
